“Energy ever present, invisible to the eye made visible oil, pigment, woven fabric, wood, no screens. Making marks, over and over again, moving out from the ‘centre’, or pulsating inwards, towards, circling, cycling, jumping and flowing. The moment of allcolours joining forces to contrast with the dazzling array. To shake us from our reverie, from the distractions of the unfocussed gaze. Forget yourself. Remember yourself. A speck, a particle bouncing around, going with the flow, not by choice but by force, by entropy, by the undeniable, inevitable, irresistible, unavoidable pull. Let go, submit, submit, close your eyes and drift, it’s all right. The event horizon behind your tired eyelids: go there, come back and tell us what you have seen.”
