Artwork Description

"Dappled Things” is a vibrant exploration of shape, colour, and movement, inspired by the lush abundance of nature. Bold greens, deep blacks, and flashes of lilac and white weave together in energetic brushstrokes, creating a sense of layered foliage and shifting light. Painted with expressive, intuitive marks, the work invites the viewer to lose themselves in the abstracted forms and discover new details with every glance. Its title, drawn from Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poetry, celebrates the beauty found in nature’s variety and imperfection.
