These images were taken this morning around the studio. Light falling on windows, walls and fabric.

my work

"What struck me, as I walked up and down the history of painting, was how much it was about fading light, and that the history of painting is also the history of loss of light. For slowly but surely.. the light is squeezed out of painting to become finally a mere candle flicker. A world once full of light becomes a world of shadows".

Ian McKeever, In Praise of Painting

reference point

I always come back to Rothko for guidance. The painterly qualities, the simplicity of form and his ability to reduce to the essential.
