Artist Statement:
This painting is ambiguous in its construction leading the eye inside, or outside a colourful and richly patterned environment. The intention was to make a coherent composition with skillful use of colour and textural effects. Suggestions of a garden, night and artificial light are present but there are no figures. The primary intention is to create a contemplative and enjoyable piece of work that provokes the viewers’ imagination. The imagery derives from an extensive study of fabric designs and patterns and these are used liberally across the surface of the work.
