"ch/ng//sth//nlyc/nst/nt" Oil on board Hexglyph labyrinths (1 of 6 no numerical order to them yet ) 60 cm x 60 cm The painting is approaching the finish line. The background is constructed of hexagons of different sizes. They are painted in loose brushstrokes. Their colours range from pale muddy yellows to dirty orange pinks. The central section of the image is occupied by 5 clearer brighter hexagons. These hexagons are linked together. Painted in warm Orange, cool green grey and a cool pale almost white cadmium yellow. The pale yellow forms a twisting path through the hexagons. The path is bordered by the grey-green. The hexagons contain information that has been turned into a cypher. The path through the hexagons or hexglyphs is an asymmetrical labyrinth. There are elements I would change in hindsight.

"Untitled" Oil on canvas The image shows a hand pointing at a blocky structure. The structure is depicted in extreme 2 point perspective and is partially painted. Colours have scraped and painted over. The new colour added to the structure is a pale ultramarine. The hand pointing at the structure is painted in loose brushstrokes of whites, oranges, and umbers. The image is unfinished

Back on my hexglyph labyrinths. My other work feeds into these hexglyphs either conceptually or via technique development.

Inspired by #RyanMcGinness I'm rekindling my interest in books more to come on this.
