Love Gone Awry
Brief Statement
This is one section of my “Speeding Subject” project.
The works from this project are generated from drawings made while moving through a place in a train, on a plane, in a boat, in a car, or on a motorcycle.
One of the drawings I made in 2000 on the back of the motorbike while hanging on with my knees was from four elms beneath racing clouds exploding from the trees. The cloud shapes seemed to suggest hearts and movement and I decided to go with the clichè. That single drawing has generated about 50 works, watercolour paintings, prints and oil paintings.
The humour and self-deprecation of the phrase “love awry” opens the way to works that celebrate the act of painting. They are full of exuberance, positive energy, joy, delight in life.
