Since returning from India and gaining a space to paint in, i have been concentrating on lots of small painstaking details in glorious gold and purple paints on 1m x 1m scale. I think it has something to do with a place in my mind where deep spiritual meanings clash with shallow pretty aesthetics. A clash which, to me, resonates through much of modern culture and has been particularly evident in the mix of Eastern/Western philosophies used to drive the industry built by Bikram Chowdry. The titles of these paintings are based on quotes from his beginners yoga class.
