Harry Edwards, Mount Nelson
Contingent, oil on canvas

This work takes the line that any mark made is a reflection of the self, a self-portrait.
I’m hesitant to say much about this piece.
I started painting from a love of colour, and for the therapeutic benefits I find in seeing colours interact. I feel that this makes almost every painting I work on a self-portrait, as it is this formal aspect that is most important to me, more so than the content. This work is no exception.
Colour aside, this work is about my own precariousness and the use of art and music as a means of attempting to ‘balance’.
