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. So I challenged myself to try again and although a few failures, I made progress.
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
I AM NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK series: fear can freeze us, mould us and also galvanise us. Live life and embrace change, movement, brightness. We can survive and thrive when we open ourselves up and embrace the darkness of our fears. #sensuouspractice
