Landscape as an Ideal, representing a place
of imagination and fantasy is what I combine with my direct experience of
the natural landscape. The dichotomy between experience and imagination has
been important in the development of my work.
By direct connection and knowledge of the landscape the work reacts to the
spectacular changes within the timescale of day, season and year. Part of
that experience is the importance of physical scale from the limitless infinity
of the sky to the enclosure of forest and wood; the eye moving from the panoramic
to that of close scrutiny. This has particular resonance where the borders
of sky, land and river converge and depart.
Living and working in new and known places has formed the context for paintings
in oil and watercolour, drawings and prints.
