Snow Silent Emptiness.
It is easy to see Booth as an abstract painter, playing with the language of colours and forms, as if disconnected from the world. But these paintings are not abstract, they are meta/physical landscapes, manifestations of the invisible rather than imitations of the visible. We stand in snowstorms of paint, mesmerised by waterfalls of light, memories of blizzards and landscapes, but at the same time we are stood gazing at the atomic reality of the world, engulfed in the ocean of atoms that surrounds, penetrates and unites us all. We glimpse objects coalescing into matter, and we see matter dissolve before our eyes.
Edges emerge and disappear as space unfolds around and within us, and before we know it, we have become absorbed into the interconnected reality of the world: realising we are only a momentary coagulation in the Being of the Universe.
