There's a lot of chance in his work - paintings start off with him following wood grain patterns in plywood surface (Jeff Thomson)
South Head artist Because focuses on the beauty in imperfections. While the arbitrary execution of paint and colour pose as ‘unfinished’, this act of making is purposeful in the content of the work.
‘There is something so perfect in flawlessness’ (Because). As a self-taught artist, Because in his later life draws inspiration from remembering ‘colouring book’ activities as a child; the trust, naivety and confidence in a young mind approaching art is an attribute nurtured by Because in his personal art practice.
