less is more.
having spent a period creating pictures that i increasingly
felt uncomfortable with i felt i really needed to break away and
make pictures that were more spontaneous, intuitive, abstract,
even improvised.
struck by both the attitude and approach to creativity of Billy
Childish, it got me thinking.
so recently i've been trying to remove the possibility of a
narrative in my pictures. this is a very difficult thing to
achieve. in the studio we discussed the possibility of removing
titles to pictures and using numbers only.
but what about the sequence created?
episodic ideas?
even having a working title Stryd Fawr / Stryd Uchel [ 2016 ]
would inevitably, it was felt, conjure up a framework for
interpretation, no matter how the pictures were made.
so, like Billy Childish, i'll work within the limits i create,
not others.
