Everywhen

9 July - 4 August 2013

The words ‘every when’ on my first hearing, were taken to be one word. This seemed immediately to evoke a certain state of mind/emotion, which underscored my particular approach to landscape; both to land and paintings of land.

On recollection ‘this state of mind’ was accompanied by a sort of silence, maybe at night? Some of my paintings have taken place in the desert at night.

Every when, seems to be a contradiction.
