Canopy 2

I try to capture something intangible and precious, a reflection and reimagining. The remote solitude, untouched stillness and hidden secrets as a distant observer. Shifting layers of fog weave around the topography of my landscapes in a protective blanket of cool silence, pooling in troughs and valleys and stretching towards the horizons. Here real and imagined memories of this place quietly converge, only revealing its beauty and fragility momentarily among the many layers of protection.

My practice is about exploring the mysteries of natural places, of hidden seclusion and renewal. There is a certain clarity being in the landscape, a desire to interpret and listen to the changes in nature, to feel the seasons, the time and temperature of the day, to watch the water flow knowing that this view will never resonate the same way again. Working with mixed media also shapes my interpretation and becomes an integral part of the work. I work mainly with oil paints that can be applied thickly or thinly building up layers towards a fuller varied surface then scrapping back and being reworked as I search for new possibilities within the work.
