EARLIER WORK
LAND OF GOLD
This
work
is
informed
by
the
music
of
the
spectacular
sitar
artist/composer
Anoushka
Shankar
-
daughter
of
Ravi
Shankar.
Anoushka
has
seen
into
my
own
heart/mind
in
the
way
she
speaks
for
and
has
touched
so
many
others
recently.
Many
of
these
paintings
are
an
attempt
to
acknowledge
the
depth
of
her
work.
Other
paintings
in
this
series
are
inspired
by
the
myth
of
Odysseus
and
his
necessarily
creative
s
earch
for
Home.
In
star
ting
each
painting,
I
set
the
sails
for
“home”
and
recognize,
as
I
work,
that
Home
is the actual process of the work.
Anoushka's
influence:
"Everyone
is,
in
some
way
or
another,
searching
for
their
own
“Land
of
Gold”:
a
journey
to
a
place
of
security,
connectedness
and
tranquility,
which
they
can
call
home.
This
journey
also
represents
the
interior
quest
that
we
all
take
to
find
a
sense
of
inner
peace,
truth
and
acceptance – a universal desire that unites

humanity.
The
seeds
of
LAND
OF
GOLD
originated
in
the
context
of
the
humanitarian
plight of refugees." ~Anoushka Shankar 2016
Painting
is
a
way
for
me
to
understand
that
there
really
never
is
a
solid
place
to
stand
and
yet
the
process
of
finding
this
out
in
a
painting
is
just
exactly
the
land
of
gold
itself.
My
own
situation
is
fortunate
as
I
explore
the
creative
process
that
is
the
unknown
and
the
improvised.
In
my
art
I
try
to
point
to
the
real
by
employing
the
abstract.
The
real
would
be
the
land
of
gold
that
Anoushka
describes
above
-
an
interior
quest
that
may
reveal
the
unity
of
all
humanity.
It
is
said
that
the
Dream
of
life
is
full
of
movement
while
the
Dreamer
is
unmoving.
This
shows
that
theDreamer
is
the
real.
It
is
this
unmovable
dreamer
I
want
to
provoke,
or
to
tease
out,
in
my
work,
not
the
unreliable
flash
of
the
dream.
These
forms
are
not
intended
to
be
seductive
and
misleading
in
the
way
we
regularly
perceive
life
-
they
are,
I
hope,
closer
to
the
real
in
their pointing - pointing to the Dreamer.
