6a and 6b

These paintings are the result of working in and around St Ives at various times over the past ten years.

6f and 6g

I hope to respond to this in Cornwall with eyes of unfamiliarity, with newness and surprise.

     

6h and 6i

6l and 6m

The further I get from the image the nearer I get to what I feel about what I have seen.

     

6n and 6o

I never work to gain a sense of belonging here. My very detachment gives me a kind of access.

     

6p and 6q

My battles and experiences in this place never allow me familiarity; things remain always new to me.
