The Cacophony series might arguably be my “happy place”. Once the initial creative decisions are decided upon; it’s an issue of production and just getting it done. And the “getting it done” is the happy place where one colours in the shapes trying to not go over the lines like I’m five years old again. I can’t just switch off in this part of the process, however, as colour choices need to be made. A famous artist would set up a Jeff Koons style production line where I hand over my scribbles to some underling to realise the work.
Maybe the whole process is important though, and it certainly allows me to feel ownership over the work.
On completion of each Cacophony, a new variation comes into my head and it’s on to the next. This one has been in the background for a while and has now had a final spurt of industry as the deadline for my new group show at the Eagle looms.
This was very much led by what small canvases I had in stock rather than any purchasing them to suit a meaning. – Shouldn’t really admit to that but that’s the way it is. Perhaps its time to move on – when a series of paintings becomes “I better do another one” rather than “I desperately want to do another one.”
So maybe that’s it for Cacophony – not sure – watch this space.
