According to the recent Knowledge Network programme guide, Emily Carr had this to say about her paintings:
"What do I want to express? The subject means little. The arrangement, the design, colour, shape, depth, light, space, mood, movement, balance, not one or all of these fills the bill. There is something additional, a breath that draws your breath into its breathing, a heartbeat that pounds on yours, a recognition of the oneness of all things."
I feel that some people looking at my paintings will wonder what they are all about. I find it hard to explain; do Emily's words help?
