leitmotif

I spent two years researching and writing about a Sri Lankan artist who was well-renowned during his lifetime (1902 - 1967), but was fading from public memory. Editing a book about Justin Daraniyagala, looking at his work up close, brought in new elements and influences into my own art.

I read Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet in 2009 and found it rang so true that I often found myself musing that I wish i had written that turn of phrase or expressed a feeling just so. Looking at my work i find I have expressed some of it visually but with 21st century concerns and personal metaphors.
