"In the magical distance, emerge. These paintings.
Cross sections/abstraction - like sculptures sawn - simplified.
A hunter's mask. A spectre, apparition, spirit, a vision of second sight. Faces in the smoke.
Father and son.
Is there a new adventure about to start?
Characters sprawled at the roadside waiting to become carnival players or maybe about to enter an endless labyrinth?
So many possible worlds, fragmented, stuck.
I remember the feeling of oneiric impossibility marooned at the top of the ladder you had to climb to get into my dad's
studio in Battersea, unable to make the traverse through the trapdoor onto the studio floor.
I'll never see through that child's eye again."
