The Other
I paint what is around me. The place I live. The landscape, the people.
Within that, there exists a place of not knowing, or The Other. It is a place I have come to love. It was for a long time a place I would avoid within myself. I used to think that the place to be is where answers are everywhere. The place of knowing. There is no mystery here. I really believed the world needed to be understood and worked out somehow. I now commune with the Other on a regular basis.
I realise the place of The Other is a great and beautiful place. Mystery is all around this place. Answers may appear but float off again into the ether. We think we know what we are looking at but really things are not what they seem. These images are about a place of great acceptance and freedom.
