Triangles recur throughout my work since my youth. I even recall decorating a piece of my mother Grace's pottery dated 24.3.1956, with triangles (see image). Triangles - a form simple enough to repeat indefinitely, yet capable of generating real complexity once linked edge-to-edge.
In this piece from the Triangulations series, a quiet grey-and-tan lattice covers most of the canvas, occasionally broken by small bursts of colour: an outlined square, a solid red or yellow triangle, a run of stripes. This painting has no preparatory sketch - it grows outward from a single starting point until I judge the painting work to be complete.
