Water Line

Waterline, My canvases are conceptual in that I collage my landscapes using line, textures and metal foils, in unconventional ways, to convey moments and subtle movements in nature. Not necessarily as nature appears but as nature feels: unspoken, indescribable and sometimes chaotic. Whether it’s the moon or the sun their effects are always defined as lines

December nights

My canvases are attempts to create emotional narratives with kinetic energy. They are conceptual in that I collage my landscapes using line as pixilation, textures, Glass tile and metal foils, in unconventional ways, to convey moments and subtle movements in nature. Not necessarily as nature appears but as nature feels: unspoken, indescribable and sometimes chaotic. In December when it rains everyday, the night comes early whilst the city is bright and active.

Street Addresses

My canvases are attempts to create emotional narratives with kinetic energy. They are conceptual in that I collage my landscapes using line as pixilation, textures, Glass tile and metal foils, in unconventional ways, to convey moments and subtle movements in nature. Not necessarily as nature appears but as nature feels: unspoken, indescribable and sometimes chaotic. In my arboreal neighbourhood all the houses are hidden behind the trees. All one can see of then are the windows when they reflect the sunlight and the addresses on the street.

Melting Greenland Glacier

This is a larger painting.I love doing rocks and trees. On a recent trip around the coast of Greenland there were no trees but plenty of melting glaciers and rocks and stones left in their wake. Here is an abstract expression of what I experienced there. In a very direct encounter with a raw and pristine part of our planet.

The Edge of the Forest

My most recent painting . . Inspired by seeing two local children here in Dresden playing in the mud.. It struck me because at the time I was reading a book where Jon Fosse wrote about a similar experience of a brother and sister doing the same. It all served a recollection of memories of being curiously fascinated by a mud puddle on my way home from grade school.

Phoenix Rising

I went to a public lecture at the university in Dresden yesterday addressing Russia and it’s imperialist intentions. Germany is very concerned about Russua: more so here in the east where there is more Russian influence. Germany, Eastern Europe, know Russia better than the American Republicans. As well I’m coming to the end of John Boltons book, largely about the ineptitude, ignorance and danger that Donald Trump brings to global resolve. I’ve been working on this painting a while now and I realize that the colour just doesn’t fit. So I’ve changed it so that it at least better captures my feelings about the present state of affairs:colourless.
