We seem to live in an age where words, images and objects have
been looted of meaning. So I have come to think of the etchings I
make as being miniature Rorschachs, acting upon the experiences and
senses of both the careful viewer and the artist. The associations
and perceptions thus provoked belong to the viewer, and override
any preconceived intentions I may have had. However, the tonalities
and depth that can be achieved with the medium of black and white
etching can be made to heighten the viewer’s perceptual receptivity,
awakening unforeseen and unlikely associations.
Where do my ideas
come from? The same place as everyone else’s—the brain.
Or more precisely, the interaction between experience and imagination
that takes place within the brain. In pursuing a perhaps excessively
detailed image, I am using an almost hyper reality to work towards
an inward goal, rather than trying to make an inner vision tangible.
Even a simple nursery rhyme, once you start picking at it, can reveal
layer upon layer of associations and further meanings. And so, I
find myself both consciously and unconsciously striving towards images
receptive to being endowed with meaning.
