The Trilines series is a range of abstract compositions representing three avenues of reflection and inspiration, namely Past Life, Present Living and Future Found.
It celebrates child-like behaviour full of abandon and hope, the process of looking upon past life experiences through older and more forgiving eyes, the appreciation of the here-and-now and the contemplation of a future coming to fruition.
Each of the three lines of reflection clash as I realise I am simultaneously son, self and father. Trilines depicts the connection backwards to my parents, presently to myself and forwards to my children and weaves though those complex relationships until they resolve themselves.
The series uses predominantly paint on wallpaper and uses the wallpaper itself to add layered colour and texture. The wallpapers used were handed down to me by my father, who is a painter and decorator by trade, renowned for his skill in hanging wallpapers and fabrics of every description.
