Painting:

My oil paintings are concentrated on what I call 'The Pebble Project'.

Drawing:

The second instalment of 'The Food Trilogy'... (the first being 'The All-day Breakfast Experiment')

also:

An ongoing project called 'Life'. (Roughly 55 pages inked so far)





'Mr. Brundish gave the impression of carefully turning the words over in his mind, as though they were pebbles of which he must ascertain the value.'


From 'The Bookshop' by Penelope Fitzgerald
' ... But anything to be written has to be, time and time again, begun from the start, and time and again attempted anew, until one day it succeeds at least approximately, if never quite satisfactorily. No matter how unpromising it is and no matter how terrible and hopeless, if we have a subject which time and again, and yet time and again, grips us with the utmost persistence and no longer leaves us alone, it should time and again be attempted. In the knowledge that nothing at all is certain and nothing at all is perfect, we should, even with the greatest uncertainty and with the greatest doubts, begin and continue whatever we have determined to do.'

Extract from 'Yes' by Thomas Bernhard
