My obsession with the frame dates from my first experience of film and theatre in the early fifties.​
 

Much later, following a (very) brief architectural career, I became a mural painter, specialising in trompe l'oeil (two dimensional illusions of space).​
 

The frame was the border between illusion and reality.​
 

There follows an abridged collection of works investigating the phenomenology of the frame.​
 

The collection comprises four sections;-

‘Taming the Frame’, ‘From Voids’, ‘Rhombi’ and an afterthought, ‘Frameworks’.​
 

It occurred to me, working on ‘From Voids’,  that I was working in a subjunctive mood rather than the future indicative tense I was accustomed to ( as in ….I am going to…).
