Inner thoughts


Flying tonight 290 x 208mm

It is a strange phenomenon that the more I am thinking creatively about my work's development the less I feel able to put it into words. I believe that this is because the thoughts are fluid and no decisions are set yet, and so nothing can be pinned down sufficiently to form a sentence. Even I am not yet sure of the whole picture of what I'm thinking, and I cannot engage in any specific descriptions.

I do find that a good jazz concert can do wonders to cut through spurious possibilities to a beautiful clarity, and often great ideas have come that way. At present, however, I'm working it out for myself. Although I'm not sure how far I have got yet, and don't know where I'm finally going - I am enjoying the journey. This is the only kind of circumstance in which I don't mind not being prepared.

The two pieces I have completed recently are the nearest to describing the state of my mind, and so here they are, above and below.
