"There is no must in art because art is free." -Wassily Kandinsky
Canvas
Collage/decollage mixed media works produced on canvas at different times over the past recent years. At present, i feel that these works, especially the most recent works, are a stage in my development, on the way to discovering myself, what my message may be, if needs be. That out of this apparent chaos and vortex of meaning, out of the storm, the pieces will land in a way that i able to rest with. In my experience it is common for the viewer to discern a pattern, or make a recognition in each piece, drawn from their own unique viewpoint. That they will find something of meaning that i had not consciously created. This is to me, a reward. of value to me. The more I explain wha the work is about, the decrease in the currency of the work ( its meaning/success/integrity ).
In addition to sporadic exhibitions in a number of countries, my work has been purchased by a number of private collectors. My work can be found on walls in my country of origin, Scotland, as well as Northern Ireland, England, Switzerland, the United States, Germany, Australia and Oman. One purchase is, by all accounts unaccounted for in the Far East.
