FRAGMENTS

Fragments

Six works, each whole, each fragments. Shown at The PhotoGallery, Palma.

I don't remember exactly, not how things were, not who was there, but the bits and the pieces, feelings, warmth, cold, the colour, life.
Kalle Hellzén

Fragments, memories, coming together as whole.

Each board is one of those on its own. They tumble around in my head, separate, unresolved. Then I put them out on the table, mix them, bring one in, take one away, until these shards start to make sense together.

I don't set out to make things that are pretty. I find it interesting to work with problems: the pigments as they get absorbed into the acrylic, pockets of air under the sheet that leave holes you can then work with.

I gave them titles that read the surfaces the way you would read the weather: colour and geometry, sometimes a storm.

Artist statement

A warm dark carrying the possibility of light.

My work begins in the space between ache and lift. I stay close to the feeling of living, where melancholy gives weight and light gives breath. It is the ground the work grows from.

Being colour blind strips away certain certainties, especially across the red green spectrum. Instead of trying to replicate a world others claim to see, I create what I feel. Chroma becomes less about accuracy and more about energy.

Colour, for me, is the vibration between things. A relationship. A hum. If there were a colour only I could see, it would be a warm dark carrying the possibility of light.
