Sketch idea for painting
A6
Focussing on fragments or small details of a larger image interests me. I enjoy exploring the ballance between realism and abstraction. Breaking down an image to its purest state without loosing some suggestion of where it came from.

I have become interested in reworking fragments of collage work. Something amazing happens when you focus on small parts of a collage and take the fragment through a repeat process of filtering. Changing the media and process again and again until the image borders on abstraction. I love the feeling you get from the american abstract expressionist paintings. That feeling that there is much more outside of the work that is unseen. The fragment is part of something much bigger.
