Turners Corner
“In a corner of Turner’s painting, ‘Pilate Washing his Hands’, there is a quiet, still space, quite separate from the rest of the image which is epic, mythological and full of activity. For me, this segment contains archetypal elements: an arch, a shaft of light, and earth colours. I take these as my starting point, amalgamating pigment on soaked paper, using tones and colours to make a space for the imagination to enter and dwell.”
