'You have to be tempted by paintings desire. Delving into the physical act of elemental mark making, an explorative encounter drawing upon things seen and felt, a meeting of self with the pleasure of material. Stroked, teased, smeared, scraped and revealed, a moment evoking both the vitality and stillness of nature.'
