Looking backwards to go forwards

Ok, had a long think last night abut what I would put into this blog and decided to take a little look backwards. Secret of the Rockwall led me to wonder why this painting was so important to me, so I looked at old work, and there they were... in painting after painting, and drawing after drawing, rocks in one form or another. I was working with Majena Mafe at the time and she encouraged me to investigate. I remembered when I was really little that I would have the same bad dream for years. Too hard to explain in words so I painted a series of small works in oil on canvas...

The Rockwall Series

This is work that has led to where I am right now. I thought I was finished with it.... but no I am clearly not as I look at the work I am doing for the up and comming BAD EXPOSED exhibition. Similar - but not the same. The first work in the series : Secret of the Rockwall is where it all began..

Up and running..

First post to get this show on the road - not sure what Myz thinks of it all!
