Marks, on a page.
That is how this all started, small 'Queer Purple' marks that have changed, developed and are always moving on. Onwards and upwards, the Queer marks looked to the horizon and what I am left with is two series of work that balance on one guiding principle of marks on a page.
The 'Queer Purple' Series
The 'Horizon' series
It is never that simple, these marks are individually made with a dip pen, a calligraphy nib that is made to write, to communicate something. Yet it just makes marks; simple, clear with each and everyone making a whole. They build up on paper, Arches paper nothing else the weight can change but the high quality stays the same, the edges remain torn to show it is real.
It is all very 'Modernist' a clear abstract image. Well that is the 'Horizon' series, the 'Queer Purple' remains at the centre with it life coming from all that surrounds it, how Post-modern.
More to follow...
