Original artwork description:

‘Wind Rider’ is an acrylic painting 102x77cms on canvas. “Smoke curls lightly into the sky A sacred moment upon the plain, Old to the young – a story, the soft voice rises . . . catches the wind”. A wind rider is a shaman. The painting evokes a sinister magic and questionable symbolism. When I paint I don’t know why I choose the colours for each work. There is a sense that to probe an essentially mysterious process would be to put into words something that is unsayable. Some of the brushstrokes are autographic, others are accidental, purely gestural. I like accidents. Without creative accident creavity is limited to prescription. The sources here are from the ‘past’. Memories of people and places. These references are rethought, reborn and brought to the present, like a wind rider.
