Title: Still life Africa 2
I think that I probably overdid the still lives in my earlier years so I’ve developed a bit of an aversion to the more traditional form. That doesn’t stop me from appreciating the skill of artists like Shirley Travener , the Brighton artist who produces such fantastic work .
I do, however, from time to time want to work on something more concrete; break from my abstract stuff, so I turn to representations of earthy objects and pottery, usually inspired by African craft. I must own up to these images being inspired by imagination rather than in front of me in my studio.
