My current paintings are developed from several years of selected digital images, distorted by the speeds of trains and cars and the deliberate, sudden exaggerated movements of the digital camera .Forms become shattered, liquified in interesting abstractions and light is violently twisted around. The photos are chance oriented, being snapped in seconds with a defective digital camera that drags during photo taking so many though not all of the images are either over exposed with light or turn out black. The paintings, in contrast, are each made from one or two digital photos over long periods in the studio to achieve form distortions. In this work, I like the idea of time dichotomy; of both the instantaneous and the incremental. As a landscapist, I’m doing views I’ve liked but in road/rail transit; their pictorial nature always involves speed.
