Burgeoning

In 2005 I learned to enamel and was obsessed for a number of years. The enamels became embedded in my paintings like jewels or gems created in counterpoint to the work. These energetic and joyous abstracts were explosions of energy in opposition to the tightly controlled and disciplined creation of the enamel work. Looking back now they are strange works but I loved them and the joyous energy remains with them.
