Layering

My work is about responding to the quiet drama of wilderness, where day and night trade places in an eternally rhythmic cycle. I’m drawn to the remote solitude, the untouched, where time slows down and the land speaks in subtle tones of shifting light and shadow, hidden secrets, stillness and untouched landscapes. The shifting fog wraps itself around the landscape in a protective blanket of cool silence, pooling within the shadows and stretching towards the horizon, eventually swapping places with the cycles of night and day.

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.
