Thank you so much for your kind words -- yes the corruptions are clearly my darkest work - definite Bacon influence. I'm sure I'll work that way again at some point. I'd love to have a show of them some time -- big back-lit light boxes!
But your work makes me want to work with real materials again -- stirred up a desire to paint. I've sent a link to your work to a few artist friends.
These wonderful collages have the nature of phantasmagorical human alterations, at once arresting, fear-making and evoking some of the discomfort one has when facing others. Just great markmaking! G
Wow! Extraordinary work! You've managed to harness the ferocity of Bacon and Sue Coe, and combine it with marvellous draughtsmanship and a keen eye for collage. Bravo!
