‘I don’t reinvent myself, the changes in my work are gradual, yet over time there has been an unconscious stripping away of superfluous details. I begin with an idea and then the apinting starts to talk to me. There is a mercurial quality to my work, it is a mixture of a dialogue, between me, the canvas and the paint’s attributes-its texture, the tones and its depths.’ Hamish MacDonald September 2007
