The new decade (2020) prompted a change in my image making, drawing me back to figuration. My non-objective approach to the blank canvas remains constant.
A shift in technique resulted in a change of style and inspiration. To this end I find myself set with new challenges, where figurative images cohabitate with compulsively abstract work to make the composition.
The music I listened to while in the studio is largely of a blues orientation, and in that soundtrack, hidden in plain sight, were the themes I was to explore. Not from a literal perspective, rather, viewed under a personal lens.
