Artist's present
| My painting has been a process of layering and it is dependent on synchronicities.
Words, people, landscapes and the media overlap until something makes an
image " right to paint". The process helps to clarify a world that bombards
you with information and media glut. Patterns occur in the selection. I
make reference to other female painters with a series of duality images
and place females in traditional Canadian landscape with a hope of reclaiming
the territory. I have embraced dark, cold, navy lakes and dance for the
metaphorical power that they hold in sorting out concepts of life and death.
And finally I paint repetitions found in nature with the hope that I will
have creative continuance.

Art occurs for me after I have worked on something for a very long
period of time. It evolves from the materials I use both traditional and
experimental. My sensibilities however, depend on the things that I love.
Simplicity. Order. Complexity. Structure. Maps. Breeze. Clean water. Stone.
Sand. Measurement. Freedom of thought. Film. Music. Every day I retreat
to my studio and through the working, surface and image and object materialize.
I want these images to be beyond time and place and to make reference to concepts of space and to have broad geographical references. I want to make beautiful things. Ron Eccles July 2001 |
