'How can form hold a story?'
I'm enchanted by stories as much as anyone. I'm sure I'm almost entirely a visual learner...
My primary 'practice interest' is painting on wood - both old and sometimes rough wood, often recycled wooden objects, or newly milled wood... but I'm always asking the form for their 'stories', by which I mean that my painterly application helps to assist a wooden object to 'tell' it’s raison d'être.
I have for years collected old and often ordinary and oddly collectable wooden objects, and mostly well in advance of their 'soon to be upcycled' life, but nearly always well before their 'elevated' new 'object trajectories'.
I'm always asking myself how a 'form can hold a story', well worthy of its shape, form and function as an object.
For this exhibition I hold form totally responsible.
