New small works
Water-based abstractions
There's this old expression in art: if you can't make the art you want to make, make the art you can make - not unwise advice, when many artists are skint a good deal of the time, and when much amazing creativity has been force-grown by the need to improvise. Robert Rauschenberg's found-object sculptures come to mind.
The works I want to talk about here are less to do with a shortage of money than a shortage of heat, though that too is ultimately a product of economics. In the winter, when it gets too cold to go into my wood-and-perspex studio, I make small works (usually in water-based media on paper) in the house.
I keep meaning to put these online to sell. I will get around to that. In the meantime here's just one of last winter's output (as this template does not allow multiple images in the News section).
Enquiries welcome.
