‘Moire' paintings series
Oil on canvas
Moire paintings - scroll down to view Formal aspects of Op Art - colour and movement - are given an uncomfortable 'nudge' in order to produce paintings that are not quite the perfect geometrical constructs demanded of the genre.

These constructs are in the process of shifting, or re-arranging themselves. They teeter on the verge of a satisfactory final visual 'conclusion' or appear interrupted - frozen in motion - not quite at their optimum position. Elements are discordant which, in turn, suggests motion. I want the viewer to be compelled to have 'closure', to want, or try to, 'rectify' the image themselves.
