Ideas relay (2)

‘Run with the Fire’ simulated the idea of a relay as each artist created their artwork using the idea of another artist as a starting point. In this series of posts we will publish statements from the artists involved in the project describing how they made use of the original idea they were given in creating the final work that they contributed to ‘Run with The Fire’.

"I wanted  to create movement with a central core of fire as in the emotion of running the race with passion, love and commitment. These three images form a series of 'frames' which portray this theme of motion and are developed from my original painting ( in watercolour with embroidered stitching) using digital means to produce this idea of running a race. Three elements are represented: - Air, Earth, Fire ......The colours of the blue for the sky and the brown of the earth are intercepted by the warm colours depicting the fire and ice blue and white for the rushing air - this action and the emotion are between the two - between heaven and earth!"
