Ephemeral and Eternal
'As Eternity is reckoned, there's a lifetime in a second' - Piet Hein - Danish scientist, poet and Resistance fighter

My paintings in Oil and Acrylic take inspiration from the qualities inherent in the Encaustic process.  Here, I also aim for a translucent, shimmering quality; so that within the finished image, the viewer can see or partially see what has gone on before.

The multi layers act like windows upon windows.  By this process, the artwork transmutes in to a mysterious, unknown new entity that is much more than the sum of its parts.  Akin to Alchemy, it is a seemingly magical process of transformation.  The subject is at once recognisable and yet not quite recognisable; occupying the space of metaphor and yet drawing inspiration from the natural world.
​
I am interested in all that is fleeting.  Whether the subjects are clouds scudding over pools, ripples over water or shadows hovering on a spring day; perhaps it is in these elusive and transitory events that eternity can be glimpsed.
