Textures Through Time

During my travels I encounter the most impressive and natural works of art.  On a trip to Barbados, in the historic village of Speightstown, stood before me a wall that was covered in the richest of texture and patina.  Layers upon layers of organic matter had rendered its original state, creating an exquisite canvas.  

It occurred to me that there was a parallel between this natural process and that of the unique character of the individual.  Similar to the journey of life, it is exposure to experience and social influence, combined with one's predisposed nature, that shapes our ultimate being, rendering the individual with its very own unique and exquisite texture. Much like the infant child the wall commenced life with a clean slate, tabula rasa, blank until impressions are recorded upon it by experience. It is this process that informs these paintings.
