Titles

'Crossing the Ford' refers to the ford that used to be at my Dad's before they built the tunnel. 'Hen Rhyd' meaning 'old ford.' A river motive has been present in my work which has come from the drawings, this isn't necessarily a river but could be interpreted in this way. It could be abstract, a flow or movement from one side of the canvas to other.  'Enfoldment' seems to describes this process of painting quite well. Especially this painting which is the one I spent longest amount of time on, layer upon layer of paint has been applied, it has changed colour and composition many times. Like it is slowly closing in on itself. Also meaning embrace which I liked. To 'Unearth' I guess is the opposite process, but the images seem to appear in this way when I am working. In 'Midnight Walk' I wanted the title to suggest that these paintings are about a passage of time, an experience, rather than a view or a window onto the world. The rest should speak for itself.
