Monk is a strange and solitary figure.

He slips between worlds, but belongs to none of them. Often I don’t know I’m painting Monk’s world. I finish a picture and realise it needs Monk in there to feel complete.

Most elements of a painting communicate with me while I’m creating them.

Monk doesn’t.

He (or perhaps she?) simply is.
