The Inner Perspective…
This work is a collective process of unconscious imagery. It is an impression of my recorded unconscious thoughts, through hypo-training and dream analysis. Most of our knowledge, skills and attitudes and training seems to be based on the idea of conscious learning.
However the reality is that unconscious learning takes place anyway, but in an unplanned manner.
The following work is an on-going investigation into the influences of everyday life and the media on my unconscious. It’s a semi-spontaneous response to remembered images of the unconscious mind.
The colourful diverse textural surfaces are loose and unordered. No brushes are used in the foreground; instead I use a pouring and running technique. This allows abstract forms and images to emerge and melt in the imagination. Ultimately, I’ll produce work that is a form of escapism from reality. I would like to think that when looking at this work the viewer would, (for
just a second or two) feel immersed in another colourful abstract dimension.
I started working on this project in February ’03 and it continues.
