TALKING ABOUT MY WORK, OR NOT.
As much I am waffling on on here I do sometimes find it quite hard to talk about my work. I can talk about my process, but my paintings are my form of expression, and sometimes I feel I can never quite do them justice in words. In expressing emotion and energy through art it’s quite important to me that I don’t dictate too much to the viewer and it is their individual response with the art. Titles are chosen to give a glimmer of an idea, leaving the viewer to have their own connection and story inspired by my work.
Perhaps my work can let them experience nature on a level they’ve not noticed before or give them a different outlet for feeling.
Putting your work’ out there’ when you’ve put so much of yourself in it can be quite daunting, but it’s incredible when something that you’ve created speaks to someone, and they have a really strong powerful emotional moment with what is ‘just paint on canvas’.
It’s not to be underestimated that ability to move people with art.
