Free Fall.
We are all falling at the same time. We fall within patterns, structures but we are all free falling, as none of us know what is around the corner, the balance could be tipped at any time. Your world as you know it, could be turned upside down.
Perception is the only absolute. Life is always in a state of flux. Our thought patterns, systems and structures we create give us illusions of safety and solidity.
With these paintings, an unsure perception is where I want to place the viewer - Does the viewer perceive they are floating and looking down upon the other figures from above as they free fall or are they looking up at the figures floating down upon them?
I have placed the silhouetted figures in the paintings floating in loose but semi controlled backgrounds with no defining light source, no horizon line.
They say flying dreams are a sign of transition in ones life. This was at a point in my life when I left a job and started my own business.
