A measure of the disorder of a system

2018
The measure of a disorder of a system strategically defines my current art practice. My work is essentially a dialogue about the language of paint; working with colour and gesture, creating a controlled internal order on the canvas surface; when colour and touch are aligned the work attempts a dialogue with the viewer, an utterance on the nature of identity.

“… One day I would cross a threshold into an enormous park, an endless and beautiful park; in this park one ingenious invention would succeed another. Plants and music would follow in lovely mathematical alternation, delightful to the ear and answering to the utmost notions of delicacy; but this park was not there to be used, or wandered about in, because it consisted of a thousand and one small and miniscule square and rectangular and circular islets, pieces of lawn, each of them so individual that I would be unable to leave the one on which I was standing.

On the piece of grass which one has reached, how is a mystery, on which one has woken up, and where one is compelled to stay, one would finally perish of hunger and thirst.
