Rise and Fall.

Some of this work was begun 2 years ago, and when I picked it up again and looked at it I could see it was calling out to me to add more complexity. Again I am in such ambiguous turf - mountains, seas, icebergs, vessels, boats, rising and falling horizons, water rising and falling. I am  thinking 'hard-edge abstraction' and also how dire is climate changing, islands to disappear, icebergs melting.

Ambiguity first appeared as a theme in my work at art school. in the lates early 90's. The combing series of my last 20 years is all about the ambiguity of figure and ground. It's like I want my work to be super cagey, so it can't be pinned down, boxed, categorised, treading between abstraction and figuration. The work below is small - A5 - so different for me to sit, look down onto a table top, instead of standing, swinging my arms around and pressing hard against walls.
