Tableaux of Dreams – All in my mind

This is a work in three parts – All in my mind, All that I know, and Journey through life. It is a highly individual and deeply personal collection of paintings, drawings and etchings.

All that I know

‘She decided to make him again, just as he had appeared to her in the dream, from the soft terracotta clay; ephemeral, ghostlike, dressed as a woman’

All that I know

‘They talked about it at length, but still they could not agree on the order in which things had happened or on how many had been in the room at the time’

All that I know

‘His mouth opened and his breath came slowly at first, but then he began to float effortlessly upwards towards the sunlight, leaving the abyss far below him’

All that I know

‘“Is that it?” she asked, picking up a neatly folded piece of paper, punctured by a silver safety pin; it could have fallen down the side of the bed and been lost’

All that I know

‘It made no sense to him; in his own mind he was playing for time but deep down he saw that he was simply trying to match the pictures to what he had seen’

All that I know

‘It would be true to say she thought about the things she had suffered silently for him; it would be equally true to say that he tried to give her his whole life’

All that I know

‘The dark, square-shaped room was cold; the salt-glazed brick and cream-painted door appeared strangely hostile compared to the soft, bruised body lying there’

All that I know

‘The front door opened half an inch and the landing light cast a narrow beam onto the sleeping figures; it was just possible to see the shape of a man by the door’

All that I know

‘He wore a dark green overall that matched his Wellington boots: he was still not sure where his actions would lead or what the consequences might be’
