The Split Second Decision Collection
Sometimes, I think, as consumers,
we have the notion that abstract art is "fast art" - when often the opposite is true.
A fair number of my works are produced over the course of several days. Sometimes it'll even take me weeks or months to decide what to add to a piece, or how to reproduce what I see in my mind's eye, how it will translate through my viewer's perception. Art is, after all, a very primitive language. Each work is a conversation between the artist and the viewer. Despite the best planning and most experienced technique, sometimes messages still get lost in translation,
and there is always personal interpretation to consider.
I decided to challenge myself with this collection. Using a fast drying ink, and a variety of brushes, I chose to explore the concept of perception and language. Without the consideration of time, colour, and to an extent composition to ensure my message was carefully conveyed - will my audience still see what I want them to see?
