I love the digital work. I don’t understand where the “Is it real Art if there is no paint?” comes from. David Hockney has had an exhibition of landscapes made on his iPad. People like Rauschenburg have used photographs in their works since the 50’s and 60’s. If I make it and print it, then it is Art. It’s a medium where I can return to photos of my paintings and drawings at various stages of the original process and give them rebirth. Eventually nothing of the original is recognisable in the process, but it is organic it has come from me, and my creations. Sometimes what was the main focus bit in the beginning gets totally fogged and forgotten as new layers get added. My digital stuff is different. Most digital art is trying to create something so smooth and polished. I am the opposite. It is my art. I don’t need to convince anyone. I create worlds and characters that are falling around in the chaos of our times. Art for me is to create a body of work that strangers will look at and see something in it that talks to their inner feelings. My art is just a search in the depths of my soul, self-discovering, trying to figure out who I am, who we are, why is it so important. Am I Scottish or am I Irish. I have spent over half my life in Scotland.
