This series of watercolour images builds on a line of abstract paintings I have created over a long period of time. Earlier works have also sometimes been watercolours, but many of those explorations also used acrylic as a medium. Sometimes, abstract art is viewed formalistically, as being unconcerned with subject matter. However, to me art is always tied up with meaning, even if the meaning it shares may not be something which is easy to put into words. It is also difficult to translate verbal meaning into visual images, but that doesn’t mean words are not meaningful in their own right—and the reverse is also true.
