Artist's statement:
"Labelling and measuring are how we try to tame ambiguity and not knowing. The 'not known' is situated outside of our horizon: being comfortable to be in the company of untamed forms which inhabit the borders of representation (knowing) and indecipherability (not knowing) is part of the fun of painting."
Jane Ostler
"..life..imposes order on chaos. Chaos is death. If cells cannot send and recieve clear messages, if they do things at the wrong time, if their membranes lose their organization, if proteins fail to fold, then life cannot be sustained. We are islands of order in a wild world." Philip Ball "Stories of the invisible", 2001
"Modern physics stems from the work of Isaac Newton. His laws of motion and gravity are fundamental, and one important implication is the idea that there is no absolute position in space". Steve Connor, Dec. 2006 BBC
