Artist's Statement
I developed a passion for painting when I quit painting what I wanted to paint and began to paint what wanted to be painted. I traded in the techniques of 'how to paint' for the technique of allowing images to come through my defences and prejudices. It's the difference between looking at something with our eyes, and having our eyes be organised by that something... Creativity through receptivity.
I found ways of sidestepping what I wanted to do in favour of what wanted to happen. In so doing I hope that I have depicted more than the contents of one man's ungarnished inner world. Something, rather, of the archetypal unfolding of life itself through the mythic images and collective processes of the deep psyche that arise unbidden and irrespective of personal intention.
