Giacometti

Went to see Giacometti yesterday…found it very enlightening. Need…(want) to go again. Didn’t quite see as much as I’d want to…need more time! It was….expansive…(the only word that fits right now). So much work!!!! Couldn’t take photos so all I could do was sketch…which is a good thing. Giacometti’s work invites closer inspection and nudges you towards a sketch pad! His sculptures draw you in!!!

I love the looseness (albeit possibly contrived…I don’t know)…you can sense both urgency and restraint in his work. It’s fluid. No overthinking…yet overthinking at the same time. It’s very contradictory and makes you ‘see’ by encouraging closer scrutiny.

Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism. 'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?
