It sits quietly in the archive until the years catch up with it, and then one day it appears again, not as an old work, but as a message from the beginning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOften I look back through my early work as a form of reflection, a way of reconsidering my practice and its evolution. When I do that, I am often surprised by what I find, or by what I once missed or dismissed at a particular moment in time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnder the Weather is a perfect example.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI created this artwork on 23 September 2013 at 6.45am. Looking at it now, it feels like an almost perfect distillation of what I had just begun to discover then about reflections and the possibility of creating artworks from them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat strikes me now is the balance between recognition and disorientation. We can sense the marina, the boats, the rigging, the early morning light. Yet the image refuses to settle into simple description. The world remains visible, but it has slipped into another state, somewhere between observation and dream.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThat is why the title feels so right to me. Under the Weather carries its familiar meaning of feeling unsettled, out of sorts, slightly removed from certainty. But in this work it also suggests something else: being beneath the atmosphere itself, beneath the visible order of things, in a place where reality begins to bend.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is humour in it, but also unease. The forms quiver, dissolve and reform. The reflected boats seem less like objects than passing states of mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLooking back now, I realise this work was showing me something important long before I fully understood it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1782277186355_204\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Paintings on Water Collection \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaintings on Water transforms natural reflections into painterly compositions that resemble brushstrokes on a moving surface.
