ARTIST'S STATEMENT "For some time now I have been interested in the minimal qualities of the sea and sky, using the horizon as the focal point of the picture. These paintings take as their subject the specific time or moment of twilight. At the end of the day there is a progression of movements where twilight colour is compressed above the horizon as it moves towards night. This resonant, sometimes sublime time, marks a poignant moment of day. A brief glimpse into stillness, a sense of the past and present fluxed into one moment. A last glance at the day's light before the surfaces around you sink into icy blackness." |
