Back before I took up watercolours and perhaps my lifedrawing course, I painted mainly fantasy and most of it very poor except for this one. But it’s lain unfinished for the last 3 years because at the time I felt unequal to the task of finishing it, but I have come to terms with acrylics now and this is the final result. It’s in acrylics and measures 18×14 inches and painted on canvas board.
Number 2 in a series of 9 photomontages which, in total, make up a self portrait. They were originally done for an exhibiton with Morrigan Nihil in the Brighton Festival 2005. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It all boils down to that monster card, the gormless blob – the ugly one, who woud die if it wasn’t loved, that I had taped next to my pillow as a little girl. The die was cast, and I do believe in faeries.”
Bow down before me!
I’ve always been a big fan of this guy…but i can not longer see him as a scary thing, does that make sense to you? i made this 3 years ago.
“It was in the spectral summer when the moon shone down on the old garden where I wandered; the spectral summer of narcotic flowers and humid seas of foliage that bring wild and many-coloured dreams. .. I saw that the garden had no end under that moon .. ”—H.P. Lovecraft, What the moon brings Full moon a-rising, Northern NSW, Australia.
A pastiche of differently coloured fluoro lights give the white painted surfaces of this industrial building a sinister caste, reminiscent of work of H. P.
