The theme for this painting dawned on me very early one morning, in the first moment of waking. I had been carrying a question about what to do for a big solo show, the deadline for which was fast approaching. I was searching for a new direction and strong theme for my work. The answer was very clear; the words came to me, “We stand behind the sky”. I rushed down to the studio and this work just arrived, it was more or less complete in a day and a half, I knew the theme was night and day, so teal and red-violet came to hand very readily. However, Ithen spent weeks deliberating and wondering what exactly I had got. The theme developed into the series of paintings ‘We Stand Behind the Sky’, which is still ongoing. The works have been well received and have sold well.
