I imagine my work, and perhaps all painting for that matter, as if it is already in existence in a sacred place of flux, and only through this co-emerging commitment between the artist and the consciousness, it is plucked from it's resting place and given a stage to link this world to it's own. To me, that's very much what the consciousness is....communion with presence. How it is given that freedom to surface as a creative realisation, personally is more often than not through this surrendering of control, this dissociation with the ego which invites the unknown to seep through. The core premise of my recent practice revolves around this intrigue with consciousness, its relationship with creative process and the paradoxical capacity to visualise the unknown by way of departing from the notion of meaning.
