Non-Objective Offcuts 30x42cm

On this page are some of the 82, A3 (30x42cm) paintings on paper that I made during the first half of 2021. Within this group are numerous threads/themes/motifs, linking back to earlier artwork while continuing my exploration into new areas. This continues my fusion of art processes: Post Minimalism, Non-Objective, Abstract, found object, by-product, chance and random. These art processes extend my general theme of ‘Variety’, which in my mind continues to link my practice to the Natural Environments which continue to influence my Art.
