Artwork Description:
my studio in borneo is outdoors, under a roofed outside area of the house normaly used to shelter luxurious cars from the scorching sun and the sudden rain... i don't possess a luxurious car so i paint there. the jungle is so overpowering that i find myself drawn to a more direct form of painting, less contemplative and much closer to pure gut feeling / borneo series:
my work is inexorably conditioned by my travels. the fact that i now live on the island of borneo somehow helped shape the thoughts that occupied my mind while i was completing and setting aside the paintings in this cycle. the beginning stages of each cycle the first series is always more representational than i would care it to be. the rain especially struck me as something I wanted to capture.
