I'm in the process of adding direct links to my new writing here (all the links should be live, just the pictures missing!). You can find it meanwhile by clicking on the orange substack icon at the bottom of this page.
I've been writing blogs about making art for many years, but in October 2024 I started writing longer pieces which went back to the beginning of my art experiences and influences. I've so far written twelve essays focussed on what I call my 'intractable questions' about making art.
1. Who knew that art making would be so complicated?
4. Death by white on white, 1918
5. Chinese landscapes and the ineffable Tao
7. Dark tones
8. Eye to eye - power manifests in stone
9. Teaching and the Chinese dragon
10. Dancing cells
12. Wild life
