An exhibition of paintings made over the course of 7 sleepless weeks, under the pressure cooker of no time and even less sense. This show is the culmination of years of developing a practice between corporate jobs - both mundane and financially sound. It wasn’t until having a child though and the dawning realisation that the time I thought would stretch out forever is in fact precious and funnily now at the mercy of a person a tenth my size. The steely realisation - if not now, when? Why not put an exhibition together?
The show is a realisation of how losing something opens space to offer something else. In this instance every moment is now rendered more special when it is mine to hold. A space I can carve out for myself. Ironically, it is both separate from my son but entirely because of him that it exists.
The show features 8 works that use acrylics, oils and organic materials to form loose colourful explorations of shape, pattern and space.
