What conditions allow ideas to emerge most freely?
“Absurdity and Ease.
Attempting to apply a theoretical discipline to control intuition and knowing the that an unconscious process cannot be governed by conscious volition.
I only aim to record and recall when something falls into place, as if into its predestined pattern, when something familiar is seen in a new light; followed by the rise, expansion and ebb of self transcending emotion.
Doing so simply, with the tools and experience at my disposal.

Studio visit with @woodygphoto Last couple of weeks to see my current exhibition @louisvuitton BRISBANE courtesy @chinaheights
YEARS OF RIVER AND OF SUN, OF SAND, THE WIND AND THE RAIN selected recent paintings by Max Berry.
Bucolic, reactionary, simplistic escapism.
PRIMER I had been waiting for something and the waiting was pleasant
There is more than one way to see
sunlight trembling in shadow
a bird sang and a bird flew It has begun to rain whilst halfway to the horizon it has begun to rain I stood watching and smelling the smell listening to the water making sounds
After a while I simply sat
aware of the connectedness of all things alone and happy with my vegetable companions My thoughts begin to follow each other observing what to say
