There are some spaces that I am attracted to more than others. Most of the time these happen to be peripheral, marginal or borderline. It is at that moment where shadow meets light, where love meets hate when an act stops into a repercussion. I am always trying to make sense of my work and myself, How I see myself unfold in the continuous present, with a tendency of avoiding it as much as possible due to habitual inclinations. Allegorically, this garage  has become a space where I really love to spend time, as much as I hated that very notion as a child. I sense that my next few works that emerge from this space will be a bit introspective and autobiographical in nature.

Amidst the potholes, and until that time when I shall learn to appreciate their own beauty and wonder if it was always there coexisting with the pain, one foot has to be set in front of the other and we move on. Yes we move on but not without carrying anything. I proved that I couldn't do such thing - total detachment. Still now I take fragments with me some bigger than others. Seminary Years are very dear to me, I made some of my best friends there... also some of the more painful acquaintances. This was followed with me taking the leap of faith to Scotland, where I am having this journey, yes of love, and hopefully humanity as well. Love snatched but persistent until timelessness arrives. Simon. But today as I post this I trace back 5 relationships that changed my life the most important taps of it and the one's which are leaving me something today. More than something, actually everything I have... Toni and Francesca | Anthony and Maria | Chris and John | Simon and Joseph | Liz and Robert.  The Ogygian is as such for me an idea of relationships and humanity and the pain and the retreat into oneself to reach that place of thought and reflection which hopefully can change ones act for the better. It is not about what you can consume not even what can you contribute it is about something that hovers somewhere between the both. Dedicated to Simon Paul MacFadyen.
