| Painting was always my first love. I have wandered about sculpture and installations but I still get a thrill about thinking about huge canvases and rough underpainting that shines through the finished surface. Large rooms and expensive paint make indulgence worthwhile. |
At sometime the drive to paint subsided and was given up to a drive to express, I never distinguished between the two. It was a hang-up to start with but working through it I understand now and the feeling never goes away. I have to create - whatever it is. |
This is a very freeing feeling and I have looked for it for a long time. My emotions are more seamless now and I no longer feel the need to compartmentalise them, they just run into each other and are used whenever and where ever they are needed. |
