One of 3 small paintings that develop some of the ideas contained in "H.Q.". All influenced by Chardin's painting "The House of Cards" in the National Gallery, London, which has been described as a meditation on the frailty of human endeavour and as such, a vanitas. In this piece, a house of coloured cards, some mirrored and containing a light within, are precariously balanced in an airy space. The structures we create house our emotions and ambitions, love, security, a home, a family, a career, a future, a faith. Yet so many structures today look and feel provisional and utilitarian, creating an environment of precarious dissonance. I hope the viewer can read this work in many ways, simultaneously positive and negative, as our relationship with our constructed world inevitably is.

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.
