“ Painting….
One of Painting’s great strengths is its frankness: pigment applied to support; paint on a surface. It is not reliant on technology and it requires neither specialist knowledge nor mastery of esoteric technique. (Although of course it does not preclude these things.) This simplicity and openness is the likely reason it has endured and will, undoubtedly, continue to endure. The scope for variety and invention is massive while the basic foundations of the medium remain secure. For me painting is about making and looking; process and the visual. It is a discipline which relies on these two factors and as long as they remain relevant so too will it.

“rilke mentions that if you went out in the forest and looked for the unicorn and you saw it, you wouldn’t recognize it. you wouldn’t see it at all. that is, if you see a thing as if you were seeing it for the first time, you wouldn’t be able to see it.”
