DRAWN TO THE SURFACE
£1,260.00
‘…The menace and caress of wave that breaks on water,
The distant rote in the granite teeth,
And the wailing warning from approaching headland
Are the all sea voices, and heaving groaner
Rounded homewards, and the seagull:
And under the oppression of the silent fog
The tolling bell…’
Dry Salvages T.S.Eliot
I am huge fan of T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets. Four Quartets has inspired my artwork (choreography, film making and painting) over the years, and this piece is no exception.
This painting is also inspired by the moments when I have stood on the edge of the ocean or indeed been on it in rough weather. These experiences being for me metaphors for life; we ride the surface of the waves of our lives and from time to time what we hold deep inside – memories and emotions, appear on the surface, drawn up from the depths of our being like objects drawn up from the seabed.
I have used a combination of acrylic paint, mixes of cerulean blue, burnt ochre, burnt sienna, phthalo turquoise and magenta, as well as titanium white and mars black. The paint has been applied using different sized brushes and a silicon wedge. I have also applied deep intense patches of charcoal, as well as soft pastel lines and smudges to add different textures and intensity. This painting is built up of layers which have been applied and removed.
