This painting dates from nearly three years ago.
Due to the fact that we see in real time simultaneously in distance and close up, I simulate the real thing like so:

Scroll up and down, scroll up and down, scroll up and down,scroll up and down, scroll up and down, scroll up and down.

So, as for what I am seeing? There is a wall of interlocking carefulness in my work that is both a virtue and a vice. I'm pushing the "nature of materials" argument so far that sometimes I think the fierceness* of my attack resembles David Lynch's angriest dog. Naturally, we all want to break through, and so I am now looking at this 2003 painting titled "Carnal" and I'm imagining rapid throw downs, pounding rocking pads of flowers, scrawling lines across the surface, and eagerly scooping out chunks to keep the thickness from getting out of hand -as appropriate to the imagistics of the painting of course.

And the image? I tend to work it out as I go, and then I kick a leg out to keep it unstable.... as it always is with phantasmagoria.

*OK, I recognise the overheated prose, bad especially when describing my own work.... I guess it's true: "Temerity is an occupational hazard for artists."
