Richard Devereux
In the absence of narrative, a meditative quality emerges from the work offering visual experiences that can be both nourishing and contemplative. I don't set out wanting to do anything at all, I follow the work. The resulting forms have one purpose––to take us to another place––all other considerations are secondary. The work continually evolves, it knows far more than I do, I am simply the manner through which it gains purchase in the world.
“[These works] do not remain as objects existing in a specific time and space but function as visual and spiritual conduits. They are not distracted or preoccupied with occasion or event but engage through the experience of personal encounter, perception, and cognition. Prolonged viewing of these works engages the observer more as a devotional image might, creating a meditative calm, transitional or liminal experience.” Extract from forthcoming essay by Tony Broome
