Artwork Description:

beyond batik series: the rainforest is a living entity. When we get caught up in the immediate beauty of the moment and attempt to capture it we at once forget the deeper dimension toward which the instant and the feeling it had provoked were pointing. we are left with the snapshot and loose track of the life we extracted it from. one moment we see the light enhancing the different tones of green and the next we watch the rain transforming everything into a greyish blur. we capture each snapshot in succession trapped in time one after the other and put them together in our mind to create the movies of our lives. but we never see them simultaneously. we are unable to perceive the whole of the experience at once the living entity always succeeds in escaping our grasp. to capture life we have to go beyond perception, let go of our precious snapshots and concentrate at another level the level of the feeling that was awoken in us by the heightened awareness we experienced when we first came upon the snapshot! the idea of the 4th dimension is one of the most fascinating concepts to have come to light in the previous century. the glimpses we are given of the 4th dimension are short-lived and often discarded. i have found it to be more a profound and altered feeling of my presence in the environment than an actual vision and the closest i can come (at this stage) to depicting such a heightened emotional state is by removing as much as possible the elements of figuration (and departing from linear perspective) that tend to automatically encapsulate our thought process within its habitual mode of operation so as to hopefully liberate the viewer and bring him/her to share in the possibility of this new vision. a significant portion of the technique i resort to is abstract-expressionistic though i do not consider myself an abstract-expressionist i lack the immediacy. i will often work on 20 paintings simultaneously over a relatively long period of time, creating and destroying layer after layer after layer until i am pleased with the feeling each piece stirs in me. when this happens the painting is complete not because it emulates nature but because it brings me closer to a moment of heightened awareness experienced at some stage [ perhaps far removed in time but always present beyond time ].
