PAUL SIMS:
Paul is not quite sure what he is – or for that matter, does anyone else really know but, what is certain is that he is a dedicated dabbler of forms: be they painted forms, photographic or various scribbled thoughts and what does all this dabbling add up to? As far as there is a sum to these disparate parts, it is some kind of attempt to make sense of the world, or to make further nonsense but an attempt to find form in all the dissidence and drift of life. He drifts through the dissidence and dabbles and occasionally something of vague worth might be produced. What might be the worth culled from all that drifting and dabbling? If not answers, certainly questions and maybe, in the end, that is all anyone can do.
