OIL PAINTINGS
My work in the medium of oil paint is often abstract & based on musical harmonies and/or emotional evocations. I tend to utilize painter's knives, and a variety of other tools and techniques around and with very thick impasto.
The overall surface is important, but each is an attempt to convey an emotional 'setting.' The topographical features are I guess, meant as signposts to a more 'concrete' reality. There is a definite intent to penetrate personal internal/visual mysteries here, but as with most expressionist conveyance, the overall strategy is to evoke an evolving dialog between the work and the individual viewer.
The titles are a necessary and sometimes amusing attachment to the works, but should not be taken with any sense of strict confinement upon your imagination -- rather consider them springboards with which to enter viewing the works, then discard them as your own dragons begin to race. The long and short of it is: there is no single pat answer as to what the content of any of these images is intended to be. They are constructed as philtres to stimulate the imagination of others, and as evidence of the workings of my own.
