This work manifests the edge in a number of ways. First and most profoundly, it speaks of the ultimate threshold we all must cross. Then, for me, the act of painting was a step into and through a stage of grief and coming to terms: it had been a year since my mother passed from this place. Finally, I was and am pretty uncertain about whether “this is what we do”: are we to paint about the intimate, the taboo—about death and dying—and if so, how to undertake this communication and how is it to be received?

"In painting as in life, whatever distance you travel just opens up further vistas for exploration. Subtleties, bold statements, complexities of relationships, colour, colour, colour. I wish I could paint forever!"
