I often find it easier to talk about my practice of making art rather than individual pieces.  In part, that’s down to an intent to avoid arbitrary interpretations and leave things open to meanings and moods emergence while creating. This often happens at different rates and these wee paintings tend develop at their own pace and in their own time, often making it difficult to know when they’re done. Funnily enough, that decision seems to coalesce around the emergence of a title in mind. A title which itself often undergoes multiple revisions in a kind of poetic word salad to bounce meaning and context around. Here, with ‘City By The Sea, Or Sparkling Orange Fever-Dream in Condominium Desert Heat’ the artwork conjures some reference to the plans being drawn for the theft and criminal possession of Gaza.
