CREATIVE CHAOS
Every year after my big Summer Exhibition I return to the studio aware that I have done no new artworks for a couple of months; my head is full of future work but I need to do something immediately to both clear my head and get back into the physicality and skills of creativity. Every year there are left over posters and every year I accumulate both materials and images. I enter a state of creative chaos recycling both ideas and materials to create immediate artworks; mixed-media (old posters, old pics, magazines and my old paper kimono with all types of paint, household emulsion, household gloss, oil paints and varnish.) collages which allow me a childlike freedom; art free of context or intellectual restraint.
