A series about fear, how it can hold us, mould us and also galvanise us. It is bout living life and embracing change, movement, brightness; that we can survive and thrive when we open ourselves to our fears
 
In the past I found it difficult to work on paper for many reasons – it was too flat, no edges, size, fragility, I couldn’t get face to face with the paintings whilst working on them. Anyway, last year I challenged myself to try again and although a few failures, I did get some pretty stunning results without having to adapt my style or materials too much.                                                                      
A poem accompanies this series: I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK
I Am Not Afraid Of The Dark / It is full of remembered symmetries that have slid through smooth spaces, over fallen rocks & buoyed on tidal races
I Am Not Afraid Of The Dark / It echoes with the murky depths of life, whose battles for survival are mingled in the dirt trodden by multiples 
I Am Not Afraid Of The Dark / Infinite possibilities emerge as startling realisations of future opportunities whose radiance shines bright with the light of living
