Through the visual language of colour, shape and line in abstract imagery I want to explore the concept that there is beauty in imperfections

Whether compositional designs or patterns, my work stems from subconscious imaginings. I believe this source when tapped brings originality and uniqueness to any artists work.
Perhaps the food my subconscious responds to most is nature. Walks through bushland invariably present new shapes or colours or textures which will appear at some stage in my artwork.
Doodling, the seemingly absentminded act of scribbling has been the catalyst for the method I now use when creating my abstract art. With minimal thought I like to create what appears to be chaos on the digital artboard ensuring all works start spontaneous.
I aim for a random chaotic appearance which will become a design once I start to transform it into a plausible piece. The title of a work often seems to emerge as the design is revealed. I like to take my time creating each piece to allow ideas and possibilities to reveal themselves.
The abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky has been a source of inspiration since my art student days in the mid 1970’s. Here was someone who was interested in composing with the absolute elements of design - shape, line, dot and colour. He created a new abstract reality which has remained timeless. His grading of colour using the tonal value of colour reminded me of scales in music and has influence all my work in the past 50 years of creating images.

Many thanks Ferial, I appreciate your comment on this work. It was a new adventure for me at the time I created it, and has remained a favourite of mine after all these years.
