Intricacy
Intricacy is the quality of being intricate. It's in the details, especially of an involved or perplexing subject. It is related to complexity, complication, elaborateness, difficulty, confusion, simple, elaboration, involution, minutia, nuance and ins-and-outs. This series of paintings plays with elaborate details, creating a painting where you can search the surface for your favourite detailed section. The colour is arranged carefully creating a microscopic scape so that it encourages the viewers eye to gently roam around the surface, rather than dart. To search the layers for what you see.

For me flowers signify moments, special dates, treasured parts of your garden, times of the year, and even important people - all these things trigger memories. To suggest this I paint flowers fading in and out of detail just as our thoughts, creating elements on each canvas to discover and savour, using colour to allow the eyes to gently search the canvas at their own pace.
