About Lyric
Lyric is a study in distortion, and linear modulation, as much as anything else really.
I like the idea of exploring how the gestural mark can be made, who can make it, and how it works, as well as looking at how it can be unpacked in a post modern sense.
There’s a romance and intrigue surrounding the AbEx idea of the singular gestural mark, a deeply macho, almost spiritual, belief in the artist's ability to channel energy, making the bold gestural mark, often in glamorously run down situations.
It’s territory that fascinating to explore, and as someone who has never felt entirely convinced by the highly questionable conceit of the artist as seer, I have nevertheless become really interested in the idea of the singular line, or mark, how it can contain energy, with its combination of haptic making, gestural form and perhaps some element of random generation.
Lyric takes on these ideas, and uses them to create a singular central line that modulates more intensely as it moves away from the calmer central horizon line. I hope it packs a lot of energy, and a lot of interest, into the frame.
