The swirling arrangement of paper was arrived at by chance and repetition, until something "looked back" at me and the spoon was then added. I'm always interested in the relationships between things and what that relationship evokes, rather than the things alone. Inevitably the two elements can be seen as personages or/and a couple and I'm very comfortable with the metaphorical allusions in my work; to deny the power of metaphor in painting is to reduce it - metaphor is how we describe and understand the world. The main interest for me in the painting of this was to see how much I could make the spoon disappear into the background and still hold its own against the swirls of white paper and so create a balance of very opposite elements.

I work in the still life painting tradition from brief, often precarious, arrangements of small, neutral or insignificant subject matter. I use observation, intuition, relationship, scale and metaphor to create a sense of clarity and space and give form to my sensibility. I regard form as concentrated space, process and phenomena and strive to create visual meditations that are layered, poetic and stop time. I draw on my interests outside art for inspiration - mainly music, yoga, meditation and Eastern thought, mainly Tao and Zen. I am particularly drawn to the increasing connections between Buddhist related thought and aspects of contemporary science, particularly physics and neuropsychology. I have also been very influenced by Iain McGilchrist's groundbreaking book "The Master and his Emissary", a Rosetta stone that connects and explains the two brain hemispheres, "the two cultures" and the philosophies of East and West. It reveals much of arts response to 20th/21st century Western society to be in fact, like its subject, Cartesian and dualistic. Please look at my blog for more written thoughts and observations.
