Dyslexia – second image from a past exhibition.

Not all dyslexia is the same whilst in consultation some people said that when reading certain letters seem to promote themselves whilst

others sink into the background.This was the thinking behind this piece of work.

computer generated

The following piece of poetry ,T.S.Eliots Lovesong of J.Alfred Prufock, was randomly selected

as a starting point

These word were then modified to demonstrate to those without dyslexic tendencies what it would be like to actually cope with this phenomenon

Finally the the black letters were removed a each letter converted into a coloured square to reveal the hidden pattern within the selected passage.

City Signatures Edinburgh

Building brown with ghostly

stray beams of light.

People busy in Granite shelters

I stand beneath and ink stained sky

Interrupted by a magenta balloon

filled with yesterdays air

pregnant with anticipation of collective joy

“Simplistic Complexity”

“Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street – Edinburgh”

is the latest picture based on the concept of

“Simplistic Complexity”

A concept has been distilling over a number of years now.

“Evening Entrance To Cockburn Street”
– Edingburgh

This concept is on the premise that we use vertical line to make sense of our surroundings and to orientate.

The colour information is distilled and the vertical lines added in high contrast.

The concept grew out of a series of painting called City Signatures which in turnt gave birth to

Edinburgh cityscapes and finally “Evening Entrance to Cockburn Street = Edinburgh” is the latest

the journey continues.

Does it have a presence ?
