The basic shapes that make up all forms visible to the eye, are formed by what appear to be lines. Relatively speaking, these lines do not have distinct borders as such, but do have distinct directions. It is therefore the direction of a line that defines any object. By exploring the natural and spontaneous way that the body makes marks (lines) on a surface it can be seen how random lines can suggest shapes (abstract surrealism). Through an exploration of abstraction, I attempted to define line as a raw gestural expression, that has eventually and naturally evolved into a geometrical line, a line that has a definite direction to it. Further observation of my environment has revealed that these basic geometrical lines are actually the shape of forms visible to the eye. This poses an interesting investigation into dimensional space; Seeing that all form is inherent in and as the natural expression of the body, then the expression of painting is the simultaneous expression of the object seen and the body itself. This points out that there is no actual separation that exists between objects in space, but that everything is appearing at once, simultaneously.
