My, where has time gone? It is something that seems to stretch in front of you full of opportunity and potential and then collapses and amalgamates behind you, becoming blurred and unrecognisable. I haven’t written a blog for ages. Can’t say why, don’t know why. It’s too easy to say there has been too much going on. Yes, there has, but that has never stopped me before. One thing for sure, is that I haven’t been in the studio much and that can have something to do with it. Anyway, I am back now and look forward to long summer days of musing and creating.
I have been working on some insect pieces; a moth, woodlice and a snail. This is following on from my other garden creature series using paint and collage. I continue to explore the idea of interconnection between man and nature, the sharing of space, the blurring of boundaries, how these everyday creatures float in out of our consciousness and how in turn there is a mystery surrounding how other creatures might perceive us.
With these pieces I am trying to portray this idea of creation and disintegration, juxtaposition and interconnection, the ebb and flow between the real and the imaginary, form and abstraction, absence and presence.
