Joe Hesketh
Artist Statement 2011

When I start a piece of work it's like starting a journey not knowing where it will end up, to explore the unknown. I like to think of it as an adventure using visual language, expressive movement, emotive colour and virtual space.

My paintings our all about life's journey, all the pieces you pick up and all the things you'd like to throw away. My work has been guided by those principles of personal experience, the intimacy of my relationship with life informs my work.

My mission is to create a visual diary of self discovery, self realization and self direction. Painting for me is to get something down and to remember, an invisible mesh of life's dramas.
