Still working on the same set of paintings. I am happy not to use brushes at all. The approach feels to me to have more integrity. The purpose of this is to satisfy me - my creative urge and that's behind the intentionality, not to deceive myself.
Just re-posted this after additional work done this morning in the cold light of day. Trying to achieve a technical balance without losing the subjective aspect of the piece which is essentially about the relationship between the hard geological facts of cyclical nature and the more philosophical alchemic interpretation of life as human beings perceive it. That all sounds very heavy but I am fascinated by the apparent urge of the human species to use their imaginations to imbue constantly adapting natural processes with stories and meaning, something that I imagine no other animals do.
