When I began work on Blue Leaf and Blue Lotus, I was looking for a little respite from large-scale paintings on white canvas. I wanted to work with colour "edge to edge", no white allowed. So I created six jewel-toned 12 x 17 cm backgrounds for collage, and have been working them up one at a time. The first in the series was As the Crow Flies, which I created for my solo exhibition "Flight" in 2005.
