Trevor Jeavons

Barred (2020) mixed media collage, 23 x 15cm (NFS)

Trevor Jeavons’ practice has its roots in art therapy, the process aims to be spontaneously expressive without planning, he says: “If I view the finished work and it has no strong feelings, I reject it.” This process allows work to develop organically, in response to our rapidly changing environment.

“ Barred [above] Although I reject storytelling and “labelling” symbols in my expressions, here they force themselves in as I cut and tear the card and newspaper. This is a troubled picture but I was not thinking that it would be. It is clearly linked to how I was feeling during ‘Lockdown’.”

“This image was not intended to connect with the pandemic but I guess it does, reflecting my thinking at the time, even though I detect optimism in the lines and colours.”

Apart and Together (2020) mixed media collage, 16 x 12 cm (NFS)

“In this later work I was more specifically focusing on the feeling of the daily strangeness of the ‘Lockdown’ - a tightening up!”
