Maker's statement
This piece is a development of my work concerned with shape, colour and composition. It is intended to give a feeling of expanding space, mainly in vertical direction but with some depth achieved by the slight ambiguity of the picture plane - i.e. but it not being clearly stated in which plane some of the shapes lie and also thrugh the use of colour
