When I started doing these swirly undulations way back when I was in school, the only reference people had was to liken it a little to Dali'esque and Giger'esque which of course I did and still do find to be rather complimentary, and when I first started displaying them they were rather groundbreaking , no one was producing work like this, certainly not among any of the little seaside galleries that I was frequenting ( and originally there really was not the internet for reference and research available ) indeed many of the galleries I approached in the early days would offer great praises for the work , but not see it fitting in ' their current portfolio's ' ( it was all pastel hue splashed paint flowers and beach scenes ) these days its rather different , there are many artists and designers it seems the world over that work in a parallel medium , of course what some artists would call ' inspired by ' might be complete plagiarism to some administrators understanding .....
and for the past 20+ years of producing and displaying these pieces I am of course always faced with a few ' well , what is it ? ' type questions .....to which I always give a slightly different answer , which has in itself become a little bit of an ongoing game ....
1.They are depictions of common understandings of all things lost to the conscious mind.
