letters from longbeach

Spotted in the ‘Art appreciation’ group.

I have just read GMJ’s critique of ‘Contemplating her’.
GMJ offered a micro-analysis and focused on the composition and more technical aspects of the work. I would like to comment on the macro elements of your work. I really like the gritty, grim, aged effect you manage to achieve. The dour, selective colours you use and the general air of shabbiness that is created is infinitely ripe for a really poignant narrative. However I cannot really find any central message in any of your pieces. There is the title and the demeanour of your figures, but little else. Perhaps there is a deeper element [and of course we can all apply our own interpretation], but not much is clear.
Of course you may well want to add this air of mystery to your work. However I think you are missing a chance to really exploit the potential of your work.
So in short – I can find nothing to fault in your work as it stands, I just have a sense that it needs to go further and explore whatever you wish in the stark, stained, sepia world you create.

I love your work. With this one, I love all the drops and dribbles on the page, creating wonderful layers, the colours, image, stamp and I always love the scribblings in calligraphy you add. So scrawly and wonderful. (is scrawly a word?) Great job. Keep them coming.

this is a happy reflection of the state of surfing in this day and age…..well done, i love it.

I enjoy the ambiguity – it allows the viewer to spend more time interpreting. It is not so easy to accomplish spontaneity marks and you have succeeded!
