The Constructed Gesture: Works from the Iberian Variations Suite

The Iberian Variations suite started around 1987. The original thought was to create a series of gestural Abstract Expressionist collages.

The idea eventually developed into the 'constructed gesture'.

This was to make the material very freely and without concern for an 'image' and then construct the composition by cutting up the source material that I had prepared and arrange into a gesture.

This strategy allowed me to work in a careful and controlled way in order to look for a composition that interested me.

The works in this volume were created between 2010 - 2019.
