This series began with a desire to make large drawings. In an attempt to avoid the fragility of paper I used raw canvas instead. Beginning with an automatic technique of staining the support with washes of acrylic I then would proceed to ‘find’ images within the stains. The compositions were not planned in advance. I relied completely on chance to arrange and supply the forms. All I did was to bring them to life. This resulted in an often absurd set of tableaux more or less consistent with the absurdity of contemporary life.
