The 'Door' is part of the 'Lessons of Darkness - Lessons of Light' series, produced in 2014 -15. The series began after I read the notebooks of Robert Motherwell, and particularly in his reference to the ‘Spanish Elegy’ as ‘lessons of darkness’. I thought, "Well, that’s only half the story, how about the lessons of light?"
Working with colour as the motivating factor, and using acrylics of differing formulations, I built up the complex layers of the painting by adding and removing paint with squeegees (some bought, some custom made), silicone tools and brushes. The work was influenced by my shifting awareness as various texts and music flowed through the studio.
This piece is an acrylic on alu dibond, framed in a black custom-made ash wood frame. It is ready to hang.
