:: One Year One Image :: An Alternative Artist CV ::
Presented here as an alternative to an artist CV, One Year One Image is an at-a-glance overview of my work as an artist since 1995, briefly documenting the various transformations and changes over the years, from idle drawings through playful archetypes and digital lines to the visionary art which is my current staple.
 |
Torn Apart This multi-layered work expresses the archetypal shamanic tearing-apart process that has been a constant throughout my life, and which in 2010 has been a strong influence. Part of the series of work entitled Life:Blood which seeks to express visionary experience more directly. |
|
 |
Honey For The Mistress Of The Labyrinth Inspired by the vibrant frescoes and images of vitality found throughout Minoan archaeology, this multi-panel work explores the original Minoan conception of the labyrinth as a transformative spiral dance, and forms the first work in the Minoan Honey series. |
|
 |
Who's Painting My Dream? A psychedelic work created as part of the :: salviaspace :: project which expresses an ambiguity as to where visions and dreams come from? Are they from within or is there an outside influence upon them...? |
|
 |
The Mysterious Seven Macaw A playful Digitextile work intended as an organic take on an ancient Mayan myth of a god who claimed to be creator of the world but was laid low by the Hero Twins. |
|
 |
Flying Fox Excerpted from the large format piece Inca Sky, this piece expresses a typically Andean understanding of a changing sky, and the attendant sense of loss that accompanied each change. |
|
 |
Making Magic With The Birds Of Paradise Originally created to develop a new visual style, this piece expresses much more the joy of being alive. It features the enduring image which I have come to call the Desana image |
|
 |
Human Pods This piece is taken from my ongoing art project :: salviaspace :: which explores the entheogenic herb salvia divinorum. It recalls a shifting visual experience not easily described with words... |
|
 |
Central Mountain A simple mandala based on the cosmologies of some Plains Native American peoples which functions as a calendar as well as a map of the universe. |
|
 |
Marc Stares At His Empty hand A unique portrait of a visually paradoxical man in which the inks did not settle properly on the media, producing a textured finish. |
|
 |
David A portrait of an old friend made from a photograph and eventually recreated in 2004, David is still recognisable despite the nonlinear effect. |
|
 |
Sky (Early Version) A very early version of a piece which eventually evolved into the Skyscapes project. Time hasn't been kind to this piece, mainly due to the rough and ready nature of the corrugated card media. Its delapidated nature also moved my partner to support me in my art work: he couldn't bear to see this piece looking so ragged... |
|
 |
Ahoahel An experiment with typographic forms using the fragment of an old Native American mythical narrative as a base for the text. |
|
 |
Minotaur A piece made while living in Japan, this image explores the Greek myth of the Minotaur and the hidden nature of modern mythological beliefs. |
|
 |
Birth A mythical piece taken from a series retelling a Bronze Age myth of the Star Son - here we see his birth . |
|
 |
Go-Go Boy #1 A sorrowful twenty-minute portrait of a man whose name I forgot but whose eyes I probably won't. |
|
 |
Desana 95 A very early abstract piece using the Desana image as a base (see 2005) from a series incorporating tribal rock art into distracting environments. |
