I know there are many colours living within this abstract artwork, yet it was blue that I kept hearing intuitively as I worked.
The greens, reds and yellows became important voices within the painting, but the deeper presence of blue gradually began to take over.
As I listened again and again to Jon Hassell’s beautiful instrumental piece Amsterdam Blue, its dreamy, atmospheric sound seemed to find its way directly into the painting.
I found myself responding not by trying to illustrate the music, but by allowing its mood, rhythm and spaciousness to influence my gestures, colour and mark making.
“For me, this is where painting and music meet. ”
I hear colour, I feel rhythm, and I allow the artwork to unfold intuitively until the visual and the sound seem to belong together.
