Like a lot of artists, although I am known primarily for one my work in one medium – namely paint – I also work creatively in a variety of media. Any medium, for me, is only a means to an end – that end being an attempt to express the inexpressible. When I write I make the attempt with words. When making music it is with sound. When I photograph, it is with the lens of visual attention. When I make video it is often with a combination of all three criteria.
My use of each meduim is a very personal experience. I hope it will likewise be for you – as a participator in my art. My work can often be spontaneous or improvisatory in nature. By this means I believe I am able to touch the essence of what lies behind thought. My experience of what lies behind thought constitutes the unspeakable that I wish to convey. It is only ever a glimpse into that realm – and only ever could be.
Much of my work is meditational – therefore needs to be approached mindfully. Please give it your full attention, as far as possible, without distraction. The idea is to bring yourself into each moment – as a fully engaged participant.
What do I hope for – as regards my releasing this work to the public? I really hope you will be able to lose yourself in my work – and thereby discover something of yourself, which up to now you had not known to exist. I also hope you have at least some idea of what the f**k I’m talking about!
Blessings,
Steve
