‘ Do not be afeard , the isle is full of strange sounds ‘…
Shakespeare The Tempest
The speech by Caliban which I read nearly every evening in 2019 and became influential in thought and word once I started painting again .
The first series of work where I tried to visually imagine the lived experiences of my life’s change and memories; the paintings carry within themselves a history of half forgotten places, In a neutral grey toned ground jagged sharp forms barely recognisable unfold. The series was painted and repainted extensively and rapidly onto small canvasses. There are no voices , but silent screams or just a dim silence.
