<span style="font-size: x-large;">Journey into .... discovery & decision making</span></h2>
<h3>
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Response, memory, reflection & colour </span></h3>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The task that I have set myself </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">always throws up surprises, this is the </span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">inevitability of process led work, one thing leads to another; it is not a linear </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">process, it can at times be convoluted and at other times, so simple. It is a learning curve, as much about myself as it is about the handling of the material. Ultimately I realise that all of this latest work is a self-portrait, the scale of the work in most cases is near enough, my scale; working on the canvas as far as I can reach in terms of width and height is liberating; for a start, its size not being 'domestic' means that at the moment of applying the paint I cannot fully realise its effect on the overall emerging image - I am immersed in the act of and at the same time, in the painting itself - what you see is not necessarily what you get.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Apart from anything else this way of working is prone to misguided delusions of a romantic idyll of an artist working away in the belief that they have something to say and is often a conversation/ heated argument that I have with myself. I suppose part of the quest is to achieve a sense of purpose, I have an innate desire to make the work but how much of it is self -indulgence? Inflated self - worth? Are the values that I hold skewed? Maintaining an objective outlook and questioning my motives is a constant; moments of self- doubt are always to the fore and require an immense amount of effort sometimes to override the desire to say nothing at all. Of course this is true for so many others, so, wheest!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Seriously, what is as good as seeing wet paint interact with another, the surprise of translucent layers, the fortuitous accident, the emergence of shape and form within a composition? Actually, there are loads of wondrous moments, nature's momentous visual and audible spectacular events that are the everyday, a magnificent sunrise/set, majestic scenery, flora and fauna is a given. Love another. The list can go on and on, other cultures, music, food .... but as one of my old tutors from my foundation course said "making art is better than sex" That was her opinion, I get where she was coming from because to experience the wonder from both activities you have to be fully immersed in the moment.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Anyway</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some of the latest conversations each revealing itself only towards the end and memory comes to the fore. All approx around about 165cm x 158cm or over</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Procrastination requires immense self - discipline</span></h2>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stepping over the threshold - The need to comment visually</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stepping into the studio without an idea of what the work will be about forces the hand, it creates a state of uncertainty and demands action. An arbitrary mark starts a dialogue and a conversation begins. What follows is a constant state of flux, an exchange of opinion, argument and assertion, followed by lots of humming & hawing, further proposals and rumination - the inevitable cycle of this chosen pathway. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Reading (again) Van Gogh's letters reinforces my belief system - he expresses despair at those artists that produce "polite, technically competent pictures" that ultimately tell you, nothing. Yes, it looks reasonably like that place but does not say anything that involves the sensation of being there, the way the light, wind, colour, air etc ... affects the artist - in other words, images that are without an opinion. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are too many painters producing decorative pieces that are devoid of any voice, it all becomes the same banal shite. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Picasso,was prepared to take a gamble, he didn't want to stand still despite what he had already achieved - for him it was about pushing his boundaries, at 13 he could draw like Raphael. The list of artists that inspire is obviously a long one, I believe they have a link in common, a singular voice that comes about from a genuine desire to say something, an inner drive to create and hone their voice. <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2018/apr/11/gillian-ayres-obituary?CMP=share_btn_tw" target="_blank">Gillian Ayres</a> being one of those, a painter of great stature, unwilling to compromise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">With all this whirring around in my head there are plenty of mistakes to be made and, plenty to be learnt - the creating drug produces the most destructive lows and euphoric highs - would I have it it any other way? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The sense of an arbitrary mark beginning the process poses the questions - why? what for?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Partly the answer lies in the word process - the process of painting, the application, the translucency, the opacity, the shape - all of these help to inform the next stage and reveal the images intent and hence, its meaning. Convoluted? Perhaps, nevertheless I don't want to visually or mentally, stand still.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have been uploading to https://www.instagram.com/cruachan0/ with paintings and photographs and have utilised a lot of time-lapse videos as above showing the development of a number of works.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Regardless of how long I have been a practicing artist, the ebb & flow of creativity is still, a seesaw; a careful balancing act, one in which I am both instigator and onlooker, reacting to something; invariably uncertain of its outcome until (possibly) much later on. All of this </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">dialogue constantly moving</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> back & forth between demand and response creates, extreme highs and lows. Of course, it's a natural part of the creative process but it certainly doesn't get any less mentally exhausting.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was great to be exhibiting with <a href="http://www.idagos.co.uk/" target="_blank">Inge</a> and <a href="http://samcornwell.photography/about" target="_blank">Sam</a>, artists whose work I admire, working respectively in glass and photography. We were working around a loose theme; so loose that we did </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">not </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">actually talk about what we were proposing and, in fact, it wasn't until the hanging day that we each found out what each other were showing. It was such a pleasant surprise to see how well the work went together and this was something that a lot of visitors commented on.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Naturally things seep into the psyche and can present themselves in unexpected ways. The following works are a mash up of responses to world events, not as a direct result of one particular thing; I cannot help but be affected by the consequences of interference in other societies and how this perpetuates a ripple effect. A sense of disassociation is ever present, soundbites and spin, we are encouraged to abhor atrocities (and quite rightly) but not those carried out in our name? We never deal with the elephant in the room! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In 'Payload Overview' there is the irony in the delicate translucent airy quality of looking down onto a tapestry landscape moments before the cargo of destruction will impact. I have always been struck by the video footage from bombing sorties on the news and how we see them as images, so far removed from the reality. It becomes pure cinema, edited and pictorially pleasing. In this regard, there is a sense of irony in all of my images too. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Naturally the process of breaking everything down into 20 images X 20 seconds was incredibly challenging, condensing what I wanted to show and wanted to say into what proved to be a very small segment of time was very enlightening; it forces you to adopt a discipline in approach, curtailing any chance of over waffling ( something I am prone to) because once the 20 slides have past by, it's over. One minute you are talking, the next minute, you're not!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am still in pursuit of the elusive image. In the studio there are moments of genuine lucidity in the act of creation, the process of making imagery that comes out of a symbiotic triangular relationship between the material, image and myself. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Knowing that it exists makes me want to find it again, there is a real moment of transcendence, clarity, where everything is 100% intuitive, an unknown force guiding the act of making work. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Of course, the greatest test is maintaining this magic and invariably once you become aware of this mercurial essence of creation, it disappears! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The process of reflection brings with it uncomfortable revelations; these revelations whilst making for uncomfortable reading are also informative and force me to confront my creative shortcomings. Inevitably this introspection brings about internal dilemmas that need working through. Thoughts are governed by multiple spikes of consciousness, popping in and out. It is these multi-layered thoughts that create doubt. Why do I allow myself to be affected? Why do I take it all too seriously? I want to understand. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The world is a fucking mess, governments and </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">extremists alike indiscriminately killing scores of innocent people as they vie for power and control, not giving a shit about what stands in their way. People still continue to die from illnesses that rely on charity donations to find a cure. Try not to tell me that's not fucked up. Governments and Multi-Nationals need people to die, it's part of the quid pro quo of the capitalist system, </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">after all,</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> shareholders need their dividends. Perhaps it's because we are heading towards Old Year's Night, that the sense of "what is </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">it </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">seriously all about" is, heightened. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Melancholia @54 about sums it up! Realisation that there is this veil that enwraps me and begins the process of suffocation, removing all ability to combat the curtain that descends. Aware, yet unable to avoid its calling. I wear it like a shroud, I can sense its putrid ambition to contain me.There are many times when I am unable to shake off this cloud that hovers over me.</span><br />

It felt great to see that someone had connected with the work and chose to mention it in a national newspaper. Forgive my jubilation, it's always a boost</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> and gives me ( rightly or wrongly) validation to keep ploughing my own furrow. I have spent so long questioning and being visually confused by things around me. Amazing how such a small thing can keep you going!</span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #cccccc;"> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;">It's an inexplicable desire to discover something that is visually just out of reach, tantalisingly close, yet, so far away. I can feel it beckoning to me in the act of making, a joyous uplifting elation in the way that the image magically develops, only to be disillusioned on re-entering the studio. The search brings with it a whole host of rewards, witnessing relationships in colour, translucency and form, but it still throws up more questions than answers. Naturally this creates a need to pursue and explore further and at the same time creates new bouts of uncertainty. </span></span></h3>

Sometimes the journey is tough, throwing up many obstacles in its path (inadequacies in material handling is usually there at the fore leading to inevitable doubt, highlighting how little you know). and sometimes, the journey is smoother, things just appear to fall into place. Arghhh! At present I am working on an image that is 100% the former type of journey and it really is teasing me into dead ends, forcing me to constantly reevaluate what is happening and makes for a tumultuous rollercoaster ride into the unknown. I get totally immersed in the act of making, watching reactions between wet translucent paint, sometimes I wish someone could witness this aspect of creation and have started to play with the idea of filming the process. Unfortunately the inanimate nature of the camera cannot reveal the innate responses that occur.</span><br />

How do you measure these? What do you use as a benchmark? It's all very well and good making the work, but, what for? What purpose does it serve? What relevance does it have to anything? The fact that it exists is irrelevant, herein lies the dilemma, how do you measure? Here I turn to <a href="https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/artist/leonard-mccomb-ra" target="_blank">Len McComb </a> one of my old tutors, he says:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love this quote because it transcends everything to do with the usual measurements, money and fame, instead it is about human connection; someone else receives something intangible from your work and it affects their psyche, a pure bond not governed by anything other than the human spirit, in the scheme of things that has got to count.</span></div>

It was a challenge trying to fit it all into 6.5 mins and to be coherent! 7 others including <a href="http://www.felicitybristow.com/" target="_blank">Felicity Bristow</a> <a href="http://beastieassemblage.co.uk/" target="_blank">Linda Lovatt</a> <a href="http://www.firebrandtheatre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Firebrand</a> <a href="http://www.a-mackenzie.co.uk/" target="_blank">Andrew MacKenzie</a> rose to the challenge.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I recently showed work at the Tweeddale Gallery in Peebles, it is always interesting to see the work in another environment, it forces you to see it afresh. Comments also make you rethink about the direction the work is taking, negative or positive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">At the moment all work is water based, using dry pigment, acrylic and household emulsion. This was not a deliberate decision, rather a natural gravitation towards media that I had previously underestimated. It has been and still is a great learning curve. The colour palette is still moving between monochromatic and fuller colour, this again is not deliberate but is very much based on state of mind. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Dead Bed (below) contains multiple conversations, edits, rotations and plenty of doubt. It is reflective of where I find myself, constantly </span><span style="text-align: center;">reexamining my state of mind and how I am currently viewing the world around me. Purpose, direction, confusion it's all there in the mix, trying to understand all of it is a mind fuck. The news is full of stuff that makes no sense, killing is to the fore, greed is to the fore, power and control and the saddest fact of all is that people buy into it. No wonder my head hurts!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The walls had the most amazing patina, caused by years of water ingress leading to a variety of coloured organisms growing on its surface! First site visit was in early Feb and it was colder in, than out and that really continued up until the exhibition's opening; not completely true, it was still cold, just not as cold.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I felt a sense of connection when seeing the space with the series that I had been working on: Hidden History + Hidden Meaning = </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the use of textile pattern suggesting interior (decoration) space and the expression “ if walls could talk” alludes to the passage of time; it comes down to layers, the act of editing internal space both physical and mental scars, erosion, revelation and ultimately, the trapping of time. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This became the starting point.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Taking a textile screen with a Fleur De Lys / Damask motif, I began to explore the idea of past domestication; the bands on the wall suggesting dado rail, I printed directly onto the wall using a metallic copper (historically these motifs were associated with wealth = class) and the fact that the print did not always adhere due to the unstable nature of the wall's surface lent itself to the idea of previous ownership. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Working on this scale was a new challenge, it was important that the wall itself was an integral part of the image rather than as a support for hanging the art work. I wanted the viewer to look at the naturally </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">occurring</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> elements within the wall as much as the additions; to this extent the printed matter was placed in a non traditional format to help to facilitate this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another dimension to the project</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> was the temporary nature of the exhibition itself, adding another layer of time to the history of the bakery's internal environment. Apart from the etchings, the rest remains and will eventually be covered up as part of any refurbishment but, will always be a part of its Hidden History. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Curated by <a href="http://www.ingepanneels.com/" target="_blank">Inge Panneels</a> the exhibition is the culmination of a three day residency at the Haining in Selkirk. The remit was to create works in response to the site (house and grounds); temporary interventions that were both individually and collaboratively made. Whilst technically not part of the full 3 day programme, (having arranged a day for our students to take part) I couldn't resist returning for the last day to take part. It was great to see what was being created, to see so many propositions utilising a wide variety of media and hear so many voices embracing the challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Hive was created with Inge, as we walked around the grounds we both thought that the hollow in a tree needed something: The Hive. The cool thing in doing this work was getting to use glass glue cured by UV enabling us to construct the piece without it falling apart, which the initial non glued version did!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On the way back to the house to glue the glasses I recorded the sound, this resulted in the idea to combine it with the installation.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next installation involved one of two stained glass windows that I came across when clearing out my Father's house, I have no idea of their origin and kept them because .... this led to 'Absence' </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are a number of ideas at play in this installation. The window as a portal, looking into the past, the stained glass with religious overtones, whilst the burn continues to wash away/cleanse/ purify our memory/ soul. An act of remembrance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Alongside these forays into the unknown I have endeavoured to maintain the same approach in my studio practice. There is very little, if anything, that comes close to the intensity of feeling when engaged in the act of making work, those moments of serendipitous delight, but, of course, the voyage of discovery is beset by the inevitable turbulent waves of doubt! </span><br />

<h2>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Conflict Resolution Nō 53 and other stuff.</span></h2>
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Getting lost and finding out along the way.</span></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> There is something magical when immersed in the act of painting, that of being in the moment, the absolute joy in discovering a shape, mark or colour that begins to transform the blank canvas</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">; an unexplainable symbiosis that is very much an interior sensation, witnessing the flow of wet paint, never completely sure about the final outcome. I have no issue in watching paint dry!</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Of course, the next phase presents a whole new ball game. How to maintain the </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">immediacy without overworking, without overthinking and ultimately, without fear of getting lost. Accepting the unexpected is for me, part of the process in developing the work. This means it is in a continuous state of flux and this means continuous reassessment of the work and also, of me. Just exactly why am I making these images? What is the point? How valid is process led work?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> And .... why do I keep insisting on asking questions? My head hurts!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> The work continues:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> As usual all canvasses are started laid out on the studio floor, where creases dictate the initial point of contact.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Colour choice random. Once the first mark is made, the conversation begins. There usually follows a </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">pattern of doing so much, leaving the studio and on return responding immediately to the inner voice. At this stage there is no right way up, the painting is worked from all directions, I still like the idea of the image dictating how it is eventually viewed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This approach may lead to a painting that requires minimal intervention or layer upon layer before the conversation stops. As the images evolve there is also a connection with its subject matter. Events that seep into the psyche rise to the surface as the painting reveals itself. World news that is very much about the rewriting of history, removal of monuments that have stood for thousands of years, that were symbols of past civilisations. These acts of excessive editing have resonated loudly with me. What drives us to deny the past? It strikes me that once you engage in these acts of destruction, you lose the argument. In order to maintain control you introduce fear and in this, you are no better than those that you rally against. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> Response - Reflect - Review</span></h2>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Getting to grips with the intuitive process and understanding the limitations of understanding.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The journey continues, the need to create, record, document and then the need to understand, are ever present. The act itself is intuitive, process led, direct responses to the way that the marks /colour rest on the canvas /paper but, its purpose? value? relevance? Can of mental worms? Absolutely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is a sense of discovery in the new work, a cathartic experience, reflective of where I find myself at this stage of my life. Personal events that have occurred that naturally seep into the work, not as literal narrative but in the concept of editing; things that were and are, no more. As much as I try, I can no longer hear my parents' voices, what I have is an imagined archive</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">; layers cover up time, creating new time, old memories, new memories, it's all part of the process of change. Exterior / Interior. It's still an edited version of it, a hybrid; part perceived and part, faithfully recounted. </span><span style="font-family: "\22 verdana\22 " , sans-serif;">The truth is in there somewhere. I genuinely want to make work that attempts to express deeper unspoken emotions and for it to reveal only what is necessary at any given moment of time. Shifts in the pattern of time, both literal and metaphorical.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "\22 verdana\22 " , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "\22 verdana\22 " , sans-serif;">The large etching continues to reveal new memories, literally by scratching the surface:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "\22 verdana\22 " , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am still approaching the work with a genuine desire for 'surprise' - discovering the 'magic' that can sometimes evolve through the act of 'what if' - it is only natural that the work can be hit and miss but too much control can lead to repetition; the beauty of etching<i> is</i> its ability to repeat and this offers enormous freedom. You are safe in the knowledge that you can take risks and the original print is 'safe', the excitement of pulling back the paper to reveal what has turned out, this for me, has never gone away. The interaction between the press and paper, it is sheer magic!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The painting is evolving, I am continuing to use the textile screens and other media. The random/ haphazard placement still at the core of the start of any image. I want to work things out, to put myself in a place where I am not entirely certain about the outcome, to discover a passage of paint that determines the painting's direction. Space within the image is becoming important, subtle shadows & light that play with the picture frame and its surface.</span><br />

<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-size: large;">Expectations</span><span style="color: #cccccc;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">, Dilution</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-size: large;">and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #f3f3f3; font-size: large;">Hidden History.</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The rambling nature of this blog is reflective of the internal thought processes of my mind. As part of my quest for understanding my desire to communicate inevitably there is a lot of ....... stuff; stuff that leads to new understanding and new dilemmas. A multitude of stuff that is incredibly exciting e.g. a section of an image that has an element of magic about it, things fall into place - shape, colour, translucency, mark, size, relationship etc... at the same time as all of this happens I am all too aware of the opposite of all of these things, as it usually occurs somewhere else in the same image. This is about expectations and the realisation that it can be a weighty reminder of the complexities involved in creativity; a mass of forces that can appear to gather as one, only to scatter in opposite directions! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The open ended nature of this exploration demands that there is no formula and no, dilution. Herein lies part of the dilemma, just how to do you avoid these two things? For instance, something is working, do you: a) repeat it knowing its harmonious outcome or b) deliberately not repeat it because you don't want it to become formulaic. It's an internal dilemma, one whose rules are set by an unknown charter; albeit a very multi layered charter that I don't fully comprehend despite being its author. No wonder its a rollercoaster ride!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> The studio extension has greatly improved things in all sorts of ways, the light naturally is an important factor but I think the extra air volume caused by the high ceiling is a contributor to a new sense of purpose. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> The Inverleith etching press is now up and running, oh, the joy of using such an old beast with all its gravitas. It's early days, but so far, so good - there are minor workspace details still to sort out, but the moveable workbenches is proving a good idea. The </span>screen print bench (able to print A0) is now fully installed, there is sense of things finally coming together. Still need electricity installed and heating solution but hey, it's light till 10pm and I'm feeling positive about the whole thing - naturally this will be offset further down the line, but for now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The work is beginning to reveal itself, in that I am starting to understand its context. Hidden History + Hidden Meanings - the use of textile pattern suggesting interior (decoration) space and the expression "if walls could talk" alluding to the passage of time; it comes down to layers, the passing of time, the act of editing internal space both physical and mental - scars, erosion,revelation - ultimately, the trapping of time. This is in both, the actual image and the artist, intrinsically intertwined, an exchange that continuously presents new questions, new answers, but not necessarily in a straight line. I am my work and my work is, me - it's all there, laid bare on the canvas, all of my shortcomings, mistakes, assumptions; all staring back at me ..... still, so are all the positives and, despite the obvious angst that raises its head, I feel that the work is moving in the right direction.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Recently I have been working on a series of drypoint etchings including a large plate (70 x 52 cm), the plate originally had a hard ground covering on it and had been in storage; looking at the marks made by the roller reminding me of a plastered wall and its surface affected by hidden history </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">became its starting point,</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, maintaining the line of enquiry in the paintings. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As well as using the textile screens on the canvasses I have also been applying them onto the etchings using very translucent mixes, allowing for an unknown interaction between the two formats, playing with the idea of layers of domestic interior decor, its unknown past revealing itself.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Something is happening - Learning to be still.</span></h4>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I look at the canvas, the canvas looks at me and it, dictates. It's an odd starting point perhaps, but the crease from the folded canvas decided the fate of this first image. I had to start somewhere and despite everything, that crease was, in charge. The result was intuitive and only on reflection did I realise that there was all this underlying referencing taking place - inevitable I suppose - it's seeped into the psyche, all that visual culture whirring around inside me. I want the work to resonate with others as the work of so many artists resonate for me. At present paintings by Mattisse, Hockney & Chardin are in my head, the references are not necessarily obvious but I recognise them. Rothko, Agnes Martin et al occupy my thoughts, not directly but I know they are there, on the periphery. Hello, Chardin? Yes, I too would love to be able to paint silence, to capture that which cannot be seen but can be, felt = the INTANGIBLE.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As with all recent work, the painting was worked on the floor, on the wall and rotated until it arrived in its current format. I have had a couple of 'textile' screens in the studio and the section on the right demanded to receive the pattern on the screen. There are subtleties and variants that can only be perceived by seeing the painting in the flesh - the scale and how the light falls on the canvas as usual are of paramount importance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The composition once again dictated by the vague remnants of a crease in the canvas. As the first mark went down the rest were required to follow, the emptiness a necessity, as is, the watery paint employed. I realise its simplicity, and its brevity is a challenge. To do more would change the whole and the elements interactions would be lost. A case of, less is, more.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am trying to find things out and in attempting to do this I take risks - there is no point in remaining stationary, sometimes you have to plough your own furrow. As an artist what I do is as a consequence of a number of factors - influences that may be obvious and also, influences that may be subliminal - all of this is affected on a daily basis from the moment I enter the studio. </span><br />

<h4>
The outside is finally completed and apart from the inordinate amount of time that it took due to waiting for more spooned weatherboard to be delivered and of course, the weather, it went reasonably smoothly. The structure appeared to resist the effects of the extreme wind that we were presented with and it would be fair to say, I breathed a huge sigh of relief! I used to cautiously open the back door fearing the worst. As previously mentioned this has been a make it up as you go along venture and this has added to the timeline, oh yes, plus the fact that it's just me doing it. A 5m x 5m sheet of rubber roofing material is ******* heavy, I managed to do plenty of damage to my muscle tissue in attempting to hoist it onto the roof and then stick it down. Things really are easier if you have others to help out, it's a fact, period. I still have to reveal the 3 skylights but it's too cold and I'm not chancing it incase the rubber strip doesn't stick! This is one of the times when you wish to be living in warmer climes, I know the studio will be flooded with natural north light but ... oh well, roll on spring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</h4>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been an interesting time head space wise since the last posting with many a revisitation to my core values as an artist. Questions and more ... .... questions. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been involved in </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">number of open studios and these have enabled me to see the work in a different environment ( always a good thing - the studio possibly being a subjective environment, not always easy to see the work afresh) First up was as part of the <a href="http://www.crossing-borders.org.uk/about_us.php" target="_blank">CB Art Trail</a> at <a href="http://www.thehaining.co.uk/" target="_blank">the Haining</a> in Selkirk. The scale of the room making the works look smaller than usually perceived; it gives you an understanding of why early works were initially made a certain size for larger environments ( Churches & Palladian mansions) otherwise they would lose any impact. The event was well attended, I met a number of interesting people and engaged in enlightening conversations about the work & it's starting points. It is always interesting to get another's take on the work and what it means to them; it's important that the work is open to an individual's interpretation and whilst I know what it conveys to me, it should not exclude another's translation. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course, sometimes the work means nothing whatsoever, as was the case with the mature couple where the woman said to her husband, "I'll not be needing you to get your cheque book out." That was me told.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Next on the agenda was the Open studios of Dave Watson & Morag Eaton at </span><a href="http://www.foldyard.co.uk/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Foldyard</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> alongside a number of artists including Peter Hallam whose work I have plenty of time for, it was good to exchange a few art thoughts. It was an enjoyable weekend and Dave's enthusiasm and esoteric Hi-Fi filled the venue with joyful energy! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Onwards to the Open studios of <a href="http://www.thomashawson.com/" target="_blank">Tom Hawson</a> & Jenny Ozwell. Great venue and really interesting to put my work up in the workshop, I think it worked quite well seeing the work being shown in a non traditional set up. Great conversations with Tom, whose work is very desirable and Jenny's pottery - that was three more pieces that made their way back with me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, those questions .... questions about direction that the work is taking and its validity. Relevance. Just how relevant is the work and how do you judge that? What barometer do you apply? Hmmm... now there is a conundrum. Measurement in terms of number of sales, feedback, peer review, exhibiting, awards, popularity, personal integrity? How much value do you place over another? Should they be in equilibrium or should some values take precedence over others? In what sense do you apply this? As a governing factor in the direction the work is going or as a governing factor in the direction the work should be going? And, if you chose one over the other is it because, you think it's what you should do, be expected to do or ... refuse to do? QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS & MORE QUESTIONS!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Self doubt is a necessity, it is there to avoid complacency but ... just how do you ... here we go again! Sometimes I realise that maybe I mentally beat myself up too much, then again, maybe I don't do it enough? Core values, those things that I hold dear about the world of Visual Culture; the very things that ignited the passion and desire to create, this is where the dilemma arises because sometimes, what I witness around me, it makes me want to close the door and hide. Put simply,it makes no sense. Then again, why should it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And hey, who cares!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Still, on another note. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Preparations are underway for the extension onto the studio to house the Inverleith press from Edinburgh College of Art. Thanks to <a href="http://www.offbeatengineering.com/" target="_blank">Brian</a> ( a real engineer - knows what he's doing!) the press is now awaiting uplift on the 28th. I decided to undertake the construction myself, for three reasons: 1) saving money - always a good idea when you haven't really got it in the first place ( majority of the stud work is salvaged from renovation work), 2) I couldn't afford to miss out on the press - having missed out on other printmaking equipment whilst in talks re space & its non materialisation I wasn't going to lose this too and 3) hey - everyone should make a den.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I just hope I know what I'm doing! I can visualise it in my head, asymmetric roof with north facing roof lights (see above), big back wall for painting etc..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The main issue is around understanding insulation & prevention of condensation - reasonable concerns given our solar challenged environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Conversations continue to be open to change, enabling the process of reflection.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Zip wires and a few other propositions.</span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, it was finally revealed which host I was to be given as Artist in residence. Myself and 11 other artists/ makers from <a href="http://www.crossing-borders.org.uk/" target="_blank">Crossing Borders</a> as part of <a href="http://peeblescreativeplace2014.com/" target="_blank">Peebles Creative Place 2014</a> have been set the challenge of spending time with a variety of different businesses <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and are expected to come up with some work based on our encounters. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was allocated - <a href="http://goape.co.uk/days-out/peebles" target="_blank">Go Ape</a>! Having met the manager Iain Ronaldson, I immediately felt this is going to be ok especially after Iain was talking about the sound of each of the Zip wires - very conceptual. It was arranged that I would 'experience' the site and in this regard I deliberately avoided finding anything else out beforehand. I wanted it to be without preconception, which is just as well, if I had found out, I would have been fairly bricking myself!! I was not expecting the challenges that lay ahead and the psychological effect. For a start, I was with my son Callum and hey, did I want to lose face? No. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What if? This was going through my head a lot, you really are put in a place where lots of thoughts whizz through your head including, "shiiiiite this is really high!" and other such vocalisations that disguise fear and ultimately, elation!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, to work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have made a number of pieces using sound, photography, painting & drawing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some fairly straightforward and obvious - Observational and some drawing on internal experience - Innate.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It does not get any easier and in fact if anything, it gets harder. <span style="font-size: large;">? </span>Well, I think it does if you are not standing still; if you have not put on the proverbial pipe and slippers then you are still not sure what is around the corner. Complacency is not your best friend and the internal eternal conundrum carries you across the choppy seas of doubt and uncertainty. Not the easiest of journeys but as Talking Heads put it : " when I have got nothing to say, my lips are sealed." How can I work out what I have to say if I do not ask questions? Part of the problem is that, the questions are in a state of continuous flux! But then, they should be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With all of this in mind. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Hmmm..</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">so is it enough that these images are about random possibility?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I believe in order for me to truly engage in an open ended dialogue then there needs to be a sense of the unknown, a certain ambiguity about expectation; that is, I should not expect a desired outcome as this will be too controlled and will not allow for genuine discovery of serendipitous delight - of course, the main problem is that that wonderment applies to a very small section of the whole image! However, I know the answer is out there somewhere, I just have to continue the quest, otherwise there is no point. The image is the by- product of the act driven by a genuine desire to problem solve, period. It is about the mindset, a need to communicate and above all else, the demons that demand that you voice your concerns. It is also important to fuck it up and reflect, because without reflection there is only titivation and decoration. </span><br />

This journey has thrown up so many questions about the process, it's demands and the palimpsest nature of creation. The artist must move on, to not do so is, to.. not ........ breathe. Saying all of this, there have been times recently where I have questioned the whole educational experience, when what is on offer is ..... </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Searching for satellites ...</span></h2>
<h3>
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;"> and the external proposition.</span></h3>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">last I have been able to get back to EP and continue to make some more propositions. There really is a sense of searching for the unknown, an elusive seam of enlightenment that will only reveal itself if it's not being actively sought ......??? It possibly begins to suggest itself when reviewing what has emerged and reflecting on the process applied. This act of self critical analysis is an important act of making future work. It is integral to understanding what is being voiced and its validity. What is its value, purpose, merit, point, concerns? All of this floods my head and the following internal processing makes for a roller coaster ride of mega highs and lows, plus the realisation that I am only barely touching the surface in regards to the possibilities that present themselves. So, I can only reference those that have gone before, artists whose work has layers; layers of dialogue that reveal an intent to voice a genuine concern and it is this that I am seeking. It is there in their works, a connection with the material, subject matter and application. Forget labels in regards to "style", a Velazquez has the same intent as a Rothko, as does a Soutine and a Chardin. Intent is everything.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having the opportunity to make work that is open to possibility has really enabled me to explore and pursue ideas with a sense of freedom. The psychological boost that the Award offers cannot be underestimated, it promotes 'space' - space to create, space to make mistakes, space to take risks, space to reflect - SPACE. So important.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As mentioned before it has been a technical learning curve at Edinburgh Printmakers. There have been moments when I have hankered after the solvents and the nitric acid. It's not because I am resistant to change but rather because of that precious commodity, TIME. I have a limited amount of it, once a fortnight and only 4 hours! It's not enough!! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the latest works, some monochromatic single plate prints and others colour two plate prints.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As is the norm, reaction and reflection is part of the process. The works orientation is flexible, each individual image dictates the way it is viewed. Each print is a one off and this is deliberate choice, etching naturally offers limited edition printing but this requires a known outcome, something that I am striving not to do. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The two paintings that follow have been revisited since the last post, keeping in line with previous statements about conversations being started up again. What's said may differ slightly or offer up a completely different viewpoint, nevertheless its history is embedded in the painting, it is a document, a record of a dialogue, hidden layers, memories.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Moving Forward</span></h2>
<h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #d0e0e3;">Ideas, development and the inner voice.</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing is certain, the last 2 years have made me reflect on what it is that I am trying not to say and to attempt to resolve what I <i>am </i>wanting to say.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has strengthened my resolve in attempting to push myself into making work that is without a known starting point or outcome. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because there comes a point where you need to ask questions.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Naturally these questions are as a direct consequence of everything that has gone before - events that have an impact on your psyche that call into question the very core of your belief system and bring about bouts of uncertainty in everything that you do. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Searching for satellites.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's about identification, trying to distill the essence of my internal machinations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not easy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definitely, not easy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hmmm....</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I strongly believe that the drawing, painting, print et al should be the by-product of the act of exploration/ investigation.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was at the Louise Bourgeois exhibition the other day. It made sense. Yes, at times disturbing, uncomfortable but ... oh so, real. The work's strength came from a desire/ need to express, regardless. It was not about picture making. I was talking with my colleague <a href="http://www.siobhanohehir.com/" target="_blank">Siobhan</a> about this and how this was also evident in the work upstairs at the NGS of Joan Eardley a favourite artist of hers. The landscape on show demonstrated quite clearly that Eardley was trying to convey the physical experience of the landscape rather than a trite pleasant rendition. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey but what do I know?</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sometimes it feels as if the answer is very little. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe painting should be about fitting in with the decor?</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I should be silent.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I should stop feeling at odds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe I should just ....</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Maybe not.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Actually, definitely not.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rant over.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Latest prints. As is the norm the following images are one off images, some work, some don't, but all are as a direct consequence of an open ended investigation. At present I am still trying to allow for the unexpected, one of the things that I think has mileage is the combination of a faint previously printed plate and sparsely applied inking on another. </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand ...</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Expressing, responding & unexpected findings</span></h2>
<h4>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Etching - new beginnings at <a href="http://www.edinburghprintmakers.co.uk/" target="_blank">Edinburgh Printmakers</a> </span></h4>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The images that follow are the latest outpouring from the extremely limited time that I have at EP, every fortnight is so ... it's great that I am there in the first place - but - so - frustrating. I have 4hrs to do it all, I know when it's time to run and catch the train that I have been working. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By default printmaking is time consuming, preparation of plates ( degreasing, grounds), biting in acid (this is very different to nitric - a lot slower, not as visible etc...), soaking paper, laying out inking area, wiping down, printing and cleaning up! ( using veg oil is very new to me and requires adjustment timing wise). Oh, how I want more time!!!!<a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been an eye opener, having spent years running a traditional printmaking workshop everything is familiar and yet, different? Learning new methods of applying grounds and how they are removed ( not easily and involves a lot more elbow grease), aquatint - again different, it's an acrylic spray which is fine but takes getting used to ( I knew the traditional resin powder aquatint box so well, how many cranks of the handle for what type of dusting etc..) As already mentioned the acid is the main steep learning curve, with nitric I could read the bite, I could gauge it's effect on the plate without use of a clock - using copper sulphate is very different, the action is much slower and for a really deep bite the plate needs to be upside down due to residue inhibiting the bite. It's been an education. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have not formulated an opinion as yet, it's too early and I remember what it was like when we changed over to water based screen inks, it takes time to adjust. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The upshot of it all is what I thought I would achieve and how much in the time allowed is being reviewed. As previously mentioned the idea is to make imagery that is a response and not to produce ( certainly not at this stage) an edition, all imagery forms part of a documentation - warts and all - I strongly believe that if I am to 'create' then it needs to be an open ended journey, once the barriers are in place then the 'titivating' begins.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Printmaking -- so good to be in a proper printmaking studio again, it's been so long. The space, the layout, the process, the Rochat press - (there's something wonderfully transcendental when you are turning the flywheel) - it's great to be starting on Printing the Innate. The series will be titled 'Visual Perception' and at present I envisaged it as an on going set of images where the traditional edition is not the goal, each image will be a record of the journey. This is the start.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The quest continues, the colour relationships become more informative, subtle nuances that speak to me and demand that I listen. The importance of a line and the apparent pull of two colours on one another becomes fascinating and frustratingly, highly elusive. There is a magic in all of this, I can almost touch it but just as I nearly have it in my grasp, it moves away, a tiny segment presents itself on the canvas demanding attention and I feel duty bound to respond. Joy, Pain, Elation and Despair - it's all there, it's a roller-coaster ride and a very steep learning curve. I do know that in order to move the imagery forward, sometimes it needs to go wrong, when this happens you are forced to reassess and to learn to trust your instincts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With this in mind, a new group of images have begun.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently saw the Prints of Wilhelmina Barns Graham which was a real uplift, her use of colour and gesture resonated with me and Lynne Green who has written a number of books about WBG gave a very insightful talk. Another uplift came after Lynne Green had seen my work and made some favourable comments. All this came at the right time, sometimes it can be difficult to sustain belief/ energy when immediate references are not always there, this is particularly true when not working in a collective studio environment.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And finally - Printing the Innate. I have been fortunate to have received funding to embark on a series of etchings at Edinburgh Printmakers. In my application I asked for </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the opportunity to fully immerse myself in a period of research into the potential that the ‘process’ of Etching offers. By default Etching is process dependent, from plate preparation to final printing, including the stages in- between and believe that a minimum of 10 sessions is needed in order to allow me to explore the ‘magic’ that can occur. I can't wait!</span></span><br />

I know that I need to make work but in trying to create from a completely unknown starting point makes for very topsy turvy internal voyages of discovery and the realisation of the continuous quest for bringing together a multitude of elements together at the same time, where all of these separate elements are perfectly aligned : me, colour, mark, speed, weight, opacity, translucency, dilution, contrast etc... so many etc<span style="font-size: x-small;">s.... </span>is difficult.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no doubt that the funding I received allowed for a freedom in approach and this brought about changes that are still being measured. It has enabled me to reconnect with myself and my values that had possibly been eroded over time. Naturally this can make for an uncomfortable experience. It is not always easy to put your hand up and say, ' somewhere, somehow I got lost and I don't really want to admit to that because if I do a whole lot of other stuff will present itself and demand my attention and ...' </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traps, pitfalls, comfy slippers, whatever analogy you want to use, as visual practitioners we can lose sight of the bigger picture - pun intended. It's never too late though to revisit your core values and realise that you may have strayed off course, unintentionally, but off course nonetheless. Just because you think you can paint & draw does not make you an artist. What does? Well ... without artists there would be no answers because there would be, no questions. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, the work, well it has become more stripped back. I have tried to push the simplicity as mentioned in a previous post, pursue the exploration of colour relationships and division of space.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The exploration of the idea of imagined medical cross sectional slides continues - not intentional from the outset but realised on reflection.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The beat goes on towards simplification </span></h3>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The work goes on and hopefully continues to evolve in keeping with the initial idea = Still starting from an unknown standpoint and believing that it is important that I respond to the first gesture/ colour that is applied to the surface.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Naturally, there is an element of sub-conscious decision making taking place and I recognise this, but it is only in reflection that I understand the image and its direction. I am aware that this approach is the antithesis of theme driven works, but it forces me into a place where I have to have an open dialogue and keeps me genuinely engaged in problem solving. I am excited by the relationship between one form/ colour to another, that point where the two meet and importantly, the line in- between. I am excited by the thinness of the paint and the magic that happens when one layer is applied next to another. I am excited by watching the paint dry!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, the next image is one that completely dictated its every move and is titled 'Homage to BN' </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was never any intent to make an image that referenced Nicholson but it became apparent that the way the space was being divided that a subliminal referencing was taking place. I understood that it was a response to his 'relief' paintings.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In contrast the next image (painted at the same time) has different sensibility and makes a nod towards Braque but I have only just realised that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> The Jag series imagine the parting of these layers as the needle is inserted. Domestic scale this time : 46cm x 31cm. As is usual, these three images were started at the same time in order to maintain an open ended dialogue and to allow for comparison/ reflection/ discovery and personal map making. I understand that part of it is due to my printmaking background and working in multiples. Akin to prints hanging from a ball rack.</span><br />

The difficulty lies in being able to maintain an open mind in the initial phase of the images development. It is important that a dialogue takes place and that this dialogue only takes place on the canvas. I want the unexpected to happen and to have to engage in a process led journey that allows for the unknown, to ask questions that are about colour, translucency and division of space; that by default throw up new questions that invariably result in uncomfortable revelations about shortcomings and the inevitable, 'what's the point of it all?' I need to find these things out so that I am certain, the voice is mine. </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As is the norm, all paintings start with a colour and a gesture, neither being considered prior to the start and the final orientation is not necessarily how it began. It is quite normal for the painting to appear to suggest a working layout, only for this to change and it may occur more than once in its development. Invariably it is late in the painting's journey that I begin to understand what it is about and eventually work within the confines of its working title. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Naturally this way of working is full of dilemmas, not least the 'Theme' one. It is important that they do not follow a set path, that the approach to each image is different to the last one, that I remain outside my comfort zone. Why? Because I want the unexpected, I savour the absorption of an open ended dialogue and most of all, I learn.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elysian Fields is a prime example of this serendipitous approach, the painting did not reveal itself until the two red circles were put in to act as a balance to the red above and then it became apparent; the circles became poppies, the dripping paint suggestive of a meadow and at this point I knew what the painting was about. Elysian Fields are the home of the dead judged worthy (Virgil) and (Homer) a beautiful meadow where those favoured by Zeus enjoy perfect happiness. Naturally there are also the connections to made with Fields of Flanders.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961676330580257615.post-73511584481755230482013-02-19T04:41:00.000-08:002013-03-11T04:04:17.792-07:00<h2>

<h3>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER TO UNKNOWN QUESTIONS</span></h3>
<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It's funny how something so simple can produce what appears to be such conflicting proposals but by default it is the only outcome to a naturally ambiguous quest that I have embarked upon. What exactly am I attempting to do? Well, at the end of the day I am trying to produce imagery that is my response to my concerns at a particular moment in time but without that dreadful word, my "style." If there is one word that really gets my goat (?) It is hearing that expression used in the context - 'I am trying out a new style,' 'What style are you using?' - STYLE???????? Like it is a fashion accessory, something to change because, Blue, is the new Black! </span><span style="background-color: #f4cccc;">Style over Substance?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 16px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">An Artist's raison d'être is to express an internal voice, their internal voice. It is this quest to expunge these concerns that creates their, “Style.” It is a naturally evolving phenomena that is a by product of a lifetime’s concerns. Lucien Freud, Rothko et al. produced what they did because they were searching, searching to express an answer to an internal concern. What we witness in each painting is just that, ‘at this point in time I am concerned with this’ and, ‘I am attempting to resolve these concerns’ whether that is about the form or the material itself.</span></div>

Anyway, here is some new work that has caused me many moments of self doubt and continue to do so.</div>

So, what are my concerns in these latest pieces? Cells, Shadows, Divisions and Chance.</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The reality is that there are a multitude of elements whirling around in the vortex of my mind, a continuous mishmash that is in a constant state of flux - one minute this, the next minute, that. For example, the painting below, 'Opposing Emergence' started out with a concern about the shadow and subsequent light cast onto the wall by the pots and pans hanging up in the kitchen. </span><br />

As the painting developed it began to suggest the direction it needed to take, the shadow was the catalyst but as the paint went on and thoughts were processed the concerns changed. In the end it became about the tension created by two forces and by default the line they created. </div>

The next image, 'Creationist Conjecture Nø 0' is the result of a random act and the division of space and a need for order, uncontrolled order - painting as an oxymoron?</div>

The next painting, 'Meus painting morbus procui quinquaginta' is taken from a fascination with medical slides and the wondrous images that they make and this is my translation.</div>

The last painting, ' Solstice' is as a direct consequence of the light hitting the canvas on the studio floor whilst it was drying out after being sized and it dictated the first move.</div>
