Klecksography Art
I paint using the intuitive technique called klecksography. I find joy in washes of watercolour, especially bright colours, as watercolour has a mind of its own and often dictates the art. I also have pareidolia which means sometimes I have to draw very fast to capture all the images my mind sees hidden in the watercolour.
Like Rorschach I have evolved my art over a life time from my own childhood love of playing klecksography or ‘scribble pictures’ as I called them – I would do some scribbles or blobs of then try to turn them into pictures. I thought I had invented this game as a child!
While Rorschach’s inkblot technique evolved to fold the paper (to create symmetrical images which he hoped would make it easier for viewers to see ‘hidden’ images) I enjoy painting more freely.
Hundreds of my biomorphic paintings and illustrations are in private collections across the globe, including a mediation centre where people are invited to mediate upon the artwork.
