About
Image: The Religious Divide, Jim Taylor
My research into the Inuit relocations and Noah’s story inspired me to paint a number of works exploring themes that arose from this journey and really impacted me.
Among them are Inuit adaptability and environmental integration, the force of temptation and untruth, and conquest through imposed fracture. The work I do is for the most part abstract with a slight edge into figuration. This allows a visual sourcing of elements such as water currents and courses, plant growth, calligraphy, decay, the skies, and the land, to name a few. It also allows me an emotional outlet and a continuous stream of creativity and suggestion. I almost always work from pure improvisation or the barest of guidelines, painting quickly and constantly; keeping an open creative channel until, ideally, the work realizes itself.
These five paintings are my favourites from this series.
