This series of works looks at organic structure and form, and continues my conversation with Watercolour, investigating its distinctive capacity to, by my processes, represent and simulate organic form.
Watercolour is a beautiful and compelling medium, which I find as dynamic as water itself. In life, we consist of water, we consume water, it cleanses us, we pray for it, and we die by it. In these works, I see representations of some unrealised latent purpose in life.
Flooding the surface allowing the colours to bleed and seep into themselves reveals the mediums most unpredictable and beautiful peculiarities. The works take on a life of their own, organic and soft as if grown.
Using exotic colour; gaudy and discordant, they have a botanical/biological feel, often with an air of decomposition as bruised, blushed hues find an uneasy intersection.
What we are left with are myriad interpretations of organic form.
