A week or so ago Newsnight featured the work of writer Nick Papadimitriou whose notion of 'Deep Topography' seems to chime with my own procedures in creating the body of work that will be "From The Earth Wealth'. Apart from a brief 'googling' I've yet to fully engage with Nick's work but I'm fairly sure it will impact on my thinking over the latter stages of my project. Meanwhile the pictures are proceeding, mutating and being joined by fresh canvases. At the moment various media and tools are the focus of my attention.
