College Days
College Days
My interests at college were concerned with the basic elements of picture making. What happens when two colours meet? How much does shape effect colours? Can colours effect the weight of a shape? Plus many more theoretical elements and ideas. All very necessary to understand and become sensitive to as a young artist struggling with image making. I loved it – the perceived logic of it all, being able to work things out in sketchbooks. Kandinsky gradually grew in authority for me and in a quieter way Paul Klee took me further and deeper than I ever dreamed possible. I don’t think my images matched up to the emotions and excitement I was feeling at this time but some of the pictures still mean a great deal to me.
