A greater confidence and liberation of gesture and colour are increasingly apparent as I continue my journey into painting to \u2018capture\u2019 moments in sound from my own compositions onto the two-dimensional surface of white-borads [at least, that’s the intention – the reality may prove rather more elusive]. You will need to judge for yourselves just how \u2018musical\u2019 these paintings are as it is difficult for me to be objective once the processes of assimilation [making the painting] takes over, all other concerns become secondary.<\/p>\n
My intention remains pure enough, but the excitement of working with pigment, texture, colour and modeling form tends to dictate its own dynamic on-goingly. This \u2018non-temporal\u2019 media is quickly so much more responsive and pliable in \u2018real-time\u2019 than writing down music, making the act of composition feel laboriously painstaking. [maps 5-8] sees a further exploration and extension of the initial mark-making in [maps 1-4] and tackles a broader repertoire of \u2018sound-initiators\u2019 [the sound or combinations of sounds in aural gesture I employ to initiate the mark-making from my imagination]. More extreme sound-events now shape my painted outcomes. The resultant work reflects these polarities.<\/p>\n
