Artist Statement:
With "Night Shadow" and "Dusk"
I'm using a technique of
layering dripped candle wax.
These paintings are a
sculptural visualisation and
expression of rain on a
window. Living in this
country, with the weather, it
is impossible not to find
yourself staring out the
window on a cold wet day.
These are some of the
strongest memories I have. It
always seems that everyone has
a memory of watching raindrops
falling and linking together
down the glass. With these
paintings I'm trying to
capture the emotions and the
aura.
Using oils and candle wax,
with a series of layering, the
painting starts to form a
textural and sculptural
picture. Starting with the
emotion and expression, I
choose the colour formats and
canvas sizes. Then gently pour
small amounts of wax from a
lit candle. The wax falls in
short flat strips. After
several layers, the wax starts
to fall into long strengthened
droplets, creating the moments
in time when we find ourselves
watching the rain fall.
"Caught By My Soul"
To commute in Dublin is a
painful experience. As I walk
around the streets, the cold
cement that surrounds me is
now reflected in its
population.
