Phase

     A phenomenon occurs in the visual world when two identical or similar patterns are overlaid and slightly rotated from one another; it is called a moiré pattern. In physics, this process of wave interference is called the beat phenomenon. In the sound and music world, this occurence, most famously popularised by American composer Steve Reich, is called phasing. 

The appearance of grids and parallel lines throughout my work has been variously used to evoke image, text or sound. This new series, Phase, comes out of a desire to echo my musical output though painterly means. Although there has always been a certain irrevocability to the representational nature of grids and lines my work, there is also a strong desire to represent nothing outside of the painting itself. The viewer can read these paintings as ur-image, implied writing or musical score. 

These paintings address line, surface, colour (for they are not black), within a larger history of painted abstraction and non-representational art.
