An artwork, in the main, is an inanimate and lifeless object. Its life comes from the viewer, the performer, from the interpretation.
What is true, what is false, what’s it all about, what can it mean? What is the artist up to?
Our search for a work’s content illuminates its ‘meaning’ and ‘substance’, and its relationship to ‘art’ and ‘life’.
Each morning we confront ourselves in the bathroom mirror confident that the image and its size is the same as we are. We assume that the mirror tells the truth, rather like the manner in which we thought the camera never lied.
Painting doesn’t just mean paint on canvas.
One series is entitled ‘Always current, always appropriate’ and comprises different versions of three words: ‘Here’, ‘Now’, and ‘Today’. Its always here, its always now and its always today for everyone, especially when looking at these paintings.
.... art has nothing to do with taste. Whether it was to your taste or not, your taste couldn’t change the object.
Picasso...claimed that taste was decidedly anti-creative.
Ambiguity deals in layered imagery where form and space, and figure and ground relationships are in a state of flux.
