On My Travels I Saw Oil on linen 90 x 100cm
'On my travels I saw'....now where does this lead?
I wanted to paint an image that reached beyond ideas of literal travel into the vast and intimate distances of imagination. So...'on my travels I saw'...can literally mean seeing something on a journey, but it can also mean conjuring idylls, exploring make-believe, capturing dreams, playing with possibilities, seeking and finding beauty.
I also wanted to paint an image that ruffled landscape...earth bound landscapes. I have previously written about my ideas of untethering notions of 'landscape' from Earth, embracing the multitudinous perspectives offered by modern cosmology. So....in On My Travels I Saw there is a landscape, but is it Earth, is it another planet, is it in the past or in the future? The three round and coloured balls are playfully ambiguous. Are they other planets, are they the one planet travelling through time, are they spaceships, are they the whispers from other universes or remnants of the Big Bang? Or, are they moments in a dream, particles of consciousness, inceptions of imagination? I suggest they are all these things and more. It's up to you!
MEETING PLACE OF THE MIND
In June 2011 I painted a painting and wrote a BLOG post called Meeting Place of The Mind . Here's a quote from my post:
I wanted to create an image which 'spoke' of mind, thinking, intelligence...all
in their broadest senses from nano to universal, from human to divine. The
trees, figures and the spiral in 'Meeting Place Of The Mind' have an
almost synaptic appearance, which I am really pleased about, because it
references interconnectedness and the life propelling nature of systems.
