Images Without a Beginning or an End

Here chronological sequence is once more changed and expanded. The chain of cause and effect is disrupted but not frozen or paralysed by 20th century notions or concepts and amongst other things, arguments of 'Form' .So each image may or maybe not be 'the final image' (or the beginnings of the image). There will be images that are unfinished to some, or finished or over done, where time is both held in one moment and yet in motion that is captured in flight and not an inanimate image. So is sequence just temporarily suspended or liberated to offer many new possibilities? So is the viewer confronted by being compelled to ask and answer: Do you prefer the last or the first or the image that may go some way to connect or grate? Welcome to being the companion of the Painting, but as it is an exercise to engage all viewers without any prescriptive narrative, it will inevitably lean away from the herd to the individual interpretation, making for a full and diverse take on the same image.

How is this made manifest ? Well not just from the range of these original images but a reset of the same image that when rotated, will be a different visual experience. I have painted images where I've maintained multiple images, sustaining all and yet preserving the authenticity of them all whilst I try to coordinate the original image often having to give way on part of the Painting that I most feel is right, is tough. Juggling and not losing an image at the expense of others is the most problematic element of the process, but it allows me to exhibit a series of work one day and yet change it the next, if I so choose. I also like the idea that people who may visit an exhibition one day will get a totally different experience from an original collection than before, yet using the same Paintings!?? But imagine viewers who could envisage all the various images in a singular piece ? You are kaleidoscopic ! But fixed and 'stuck' was Tracy Emin's initial rejection of her Paintings, but she Paints with freedom today because she's had to take on people telling her to stick to conceptual Art as a YBA in the 90's, when clearly she's moved on and beyond.
