Untitled blog post from "macro & micro"

I've just been Skyped by two monks from Douai Abbey in Berkshire - I offered them four large paintings (1.80m x 2m) some time back. They are stored in my wife's parents garage in Hampshire following a show in London a couple of years ago - it seems such a shame for them not to be seen.

I decided that they work best in a meditative environment rather than a gallery - we used to spend time at Douai Abbey when we lived in England, a real escape from the chaos of life. We are still in touch with one of the monks and he was pleased I contacted him. The taste of the community is quite traditional, but they were open to my 'memory of nature / land with a history' meditative textural pieces.

They are hoping to hang all four together which will be phenomenal - reminiscent of the Rothko Chapel? I'm so pleased they are going to a good home.
