Abstract

Seawards: My prints start from rudimentary sketches (several made from the collection at the NGV) and not from preliminary, finished drawings. They are then developed from state proofs. This manner of working is similar to the way that my paintings evolve. In other words there are layers that have been worked and re-worked, often over months and years. However, the drawings in this exhibition are to be seen as works in their own right, which may, or may not, lead to other prints or paintings. All of the works reveal a pre-occupation with transition and gradation, transformation and turbulence. Surface texture, mark-making, tonal shifts and dramatic chiaroscuro contribute to an overall pre-occupation with change. JM March 2017
