The Elusive Prey

The Elusive Prey

by m. harrison-priestman

For far too long now I have been like a searching, solitary

baboon wandering along on a long narrow road; lost in the

wilderness and my reveries. The fates and the furies have

revelled and have taken great pleasure in leading me into

strange, dark and turbulent waters.

Recently for the first time in my life I think I may have found a

clearing amidst the chaos and mayhem, just a glimpse of a

possibility. I will proceed down this path and see where it leads,

hopefully to my intended and elusive prey; capturing a presence.

My catalogue of paintings is a diary of 50 paintings and

drawings exploring man’s inner and outer self.
