Original artwork description:

‘FLOWERY BAND” is an acrylic and dye painting on unprimed canvas. It is 115 x 92 cms in size, unframed and stretched over a wooden frame with steel corner braces. It is part of a series of works which focus on ‘garden’ environments. Memory is central to my work. I rarely make art work directly from what I see at ‘the time’ more likely from recollections of places and events. ‘Flowery Band’ is an emotional response to a situation, in this instance an observational study of a very familiar garden. This ‘fleeting glimpse’ was composed with gestural pace in order to capture ‘the moment’. The subject is specific, however the visual language functions by association rather than resemblance. Here the colour and mark making evoke the presence of a joyous gathering of family. The subject is physical and toys with the psychological involvement of a living presence.
