Collection: Endless Expression Series

ARTIST STATEMENT I named this series ENDLESS EXPRESSION because when I developed my Turkish Whirling style I knew I could use it endlessly to express my thoughts and feelings. The technique uses fluid dynamic forms in oils to create many small abstract portraits as a texture, these are balanced by large abstract portraits to structure the composition. The large and tiny portraits symbolise how similar patterns of behaviour and events play out in people's personal lives and also in communities, nations and international politics. The large / small juxtaposition is intended to convey my thoughts about the relationship and impact of world events and major ideologies on the conditions of each person's individual experience. Yet although each person experiences their own individual fragment of the world, there is an identifiable range of emotional responses that are part of our shared human condition.
