Statement

Petrification

Once moving creatures turned to stone in blue lias

Bachus in mid air in the Titian painting never touched the ground, he is only paint, leaping never landing

These, my works, were conceived in the state that they are in, they are of motion. Though never a before or after. In painting this is possible

I am aware a spider in my sink plays dead, touch its legs, they are slack, I will look away and it will silently walk
