In my recent work , there are several layers of paintings beneath the finished surface. Some of these layers are a complete digression from the original idea or concept or the work, that  you see in any of the finished works.
 The paintings are developed from drawings and are initially created by drawing with paint. However the forms and shapes develop their own discourse and precipitate changes of thought, intention and decision making within the  directions of the painting surface .
Once the shift in composition gains momentum the question is how far to take it? There is always a risk that the painting which may have( perceptibly magical moments) in it , could be destroyed. The conversation between myself as Artist and work of art is a direct one .
 This is the most fascinating element of painting, you can't control the medium and what ever is created comes from the reality of where you are at that moment. The colours and shapes interact,  and have as many emotional gradients as human beings.
More and more  I am understanding the method or process of the way I create work. I am wondering whether other Artists cover and hide work that they don't want to project to a viewer?It is an interesting idea to almost unearth or discover the past of each painting, which remains in the present as 'the object'.  The texture of the painting has partly created the history of it's past, so the past informs the future, just as  fallen dust recreates form.
