Formulating my intentions in words is somewhat of a revelation. To be instinctual and rational I find contradictory to the process of painting yet, I strive for a path, a logic a meaning. Working from the life model / perceptual painting makes one aware that this practice is more about subjectivity than the subject. If one is creating a set of rules to assimilate what one perceives then this idea can be pushed to the extreme. My aim is to create a sensory experience using colour as a visual element. The figure presented emanates through the interaction of the colours, through the push and pull of the elements. A connection is sought after that is not only seen but felt.
