It is the counter-point of the dimensional part of my work. The bi-dimensional plain where a quick thought process is present, where the work derives from a snapshot and nothing more, with a focus on the here and now, the visual – colours, shapes, light. It is the antithesis of the sculptural work – the tri-dimensional — thought that has matured over a long period of time. One is the intuitive and instinctive and the other is the reflective, prepared, even strategised. Even though there is an antithesis of process, the start and end points are the same. This counterpoint is in a sense a dialogue, different opinions of colour and shape paired together in counterpoint, dialoguing with each other. In a wider sense, this is what makes us human, this humanity conceived in dialogue, this Greek philanthropia, in order to arrive at a point of truth; although this truth, as Lessing exemplifies very well, should be taken lightly and not followed as an orthodoxy – and the cycle re-starts – in life, as in Art, a discussion with the self, previous and current artists, and the public.
