I have often been asked why I say that my work is "Mystical" work. In one sense the answer is simple - I have painted these from a spiritual point of view. My ideas have been based upon a fourteenth century German Christian mystic named Meister Eckhart. As far as I am concerned the writings of this man come from the totally surreal and abstract world of a passionate - and obstinate - desire to come to grips with what ever is "on the other side"
Eckharts descriptions are masterpieces of narration. We are taken to places that we have actually known before ... but didn't realise it. ... To places that are so far removed from our everyday experiences - yet they are closer to us ... than our hearts.
I think you might be getting the picture. Eckhart spoke of the spiritual world in truly magnificent surrealist ways ... and I have simply envisaged the deeply personal experiences that can be found there.
Of course, his words do not always evoke an environment that is full of fluttering cherubs, and lithe angels sultrily caressing a harp ... upon a cloud - or even a cross legged ascetic streaked with chalk and wearing almost nothing else but a long beard. Eckharts visions were far more down-to-earth (yet, ironically, I find them closer to heaven!) ... he saw no place for romanticism - but rather shared in what must have been very painful and sacrificial, yet so much closer to the truth of what it must be like to live a complete life so engrossed in the search for the ever evasive source of the soul.
My "mystical" works are deeply personal exercises - inspired by Eckharts exhortations - in a specific way of meditating upon the journey I am compelled to take towards the ... the ... "is"!
