“However We Play, We Never Outgrow Our Playful Natures”

A series of prepatory watercolour studies done in 2020 for paintings on canvas to be done 2021.  This series employs visual metonyms and where a diptych is viewed as an open book while a vocabulary is made up of three pictogram-like characters.

Two of the pictograms are Buddha and Aphrodite which reference Eastern and Western points of view. The philosopher/witness, a Guston inspired Bean Head, is the third and becomes the engaged observer. 

The figures interplay on these pages suggests picture poems through semblance, repetition and structure.
