About the work: My paintings are 'representational' and this painting is a contemplation on representation. The three words on the painting are extracted from a translation of Plato's Timaeus: 'Innocent light-minded men .... will become birds'. (p.161. Bertrand Russell. History of Western Philosophy. Unwin University books.)
