Also the cubes question and challenge the staple of

painting being confined to the two dimensional surface,

pushing the boundaries into the third dimension. The

cubes suggesting the dichotomy of spirit, being all

things in all directions at once and is also a more literal

translation of the work of post impressionist painter

Cezanne and the subsequent Cubist movement, how-

ever the painted surfaces of my work has more in com-

mon with the Romantic philosophy , in particular that of

Turner.

The varied and stunning Irish landscape, coupled

with our unsettled weather and therefore often fleeting

and mottled light, inspires me greatly. Often a view

will change or an area will be illuminated by a simple

break in the clouds, highlighting as if a shimmering

treasure or jewel, a corner of a field, the side of some

rocky cliff or the dynamic sweeping curves of a valley

reminding us that we are an integral part of and con-

nected to a whole. Effectively, this encourages us to

see and, most importantly, feel its beauty and spirit

and therefore reconnect to this vital part of us.

In areas, sky and earth are as one, evoking the

sense of personal growth, the sense of awakening to

the beauty, divinity and perfection, to the divine order

within all things. This suggestion of heaven and earth

in constant struggle, merging yet separable, solid yet

amorphous all suggest the multidimensional nature of

the spiritual, the beginning and the end, the alpha and

omega, the struggle within, between the conditioned

self and the divine/spiritual self”.
