Artist's Statement
"This painting was created from a dream, haunted by recent events and the constant bombardment of information or dis-information. The Triad - Beginning, Middle, End came to mind.
Evoking the Japanese Proverb, "See No Evil. Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil", skewing the order represents the way I presently interpret the world.
Next, The The Graces, portrayed with florals encompassing the brighter more playful side of life, yellowing but with colour breaking through as if the dawning of a renewed existence.
Energetically injecting pink (love), green (growth), and finally yellow (disease), I have personalized emotions the way I perceive the world to be. The gel transfers represent the bombardment of constant information of media the seems impossible to escape.
The idea of a conceptualized painting is unique for me as it is based on present emotion and how it relates to the external world. This is something which I have come to entertain more recently,"
