I've been caught up in commissioned work for the last couple months - which I enjoy as it pushes my creative boundaries outside of my comfort zone and makes me a better artist for it.
But there is truth in the saying "there's no place like home" - I feel that creatively and with this piece I've returned home.
This piece of artwork brings back a lot of memories from 13 years ago when I lived in Malaysia. Subconciously I think it was no accident that I created a reflecting pool image that then lead to the resurgance of the memories, people, places and emotions from that time. I'm unclear as to why it all came out now - but I often feel that my artwork is a process of divination / channeling. I am just the "brush" so to speak.
