For many years I have been attracted to the exploration of parallels between music and the visual arts. Through Kandinsky, Klee, Cage and Ruskin to Goethe, Wagner, Debussy and countless others who made work within this realm of speculative aesthetics. I am using musical structure and theory as a template to produce visual works of art, infusing the same dynamics and expressiveness which exists in music into the marks being made and the organisation of those marks.

A piece of music is a sculpture in four dimensions. It has a definite architecture to it. It has height, breadth and depth. Its fourth dimension is time. Within that time frame there are vertical and horizontal harmonies, tone colours, parabolic peaks and troughs. Circular rhythms and melodies. Spirals, symmetries, repetitions and reflections.
To the ancient Greeks music was revered because of its mathematical properties. It had an inbuilt order that directly related it to the order of the cosmos. When you played the seven sounds of the musical scale and variations thereof, you were literally in tune with the universe.
