northern-scapes, part abstract land/seascapes

MY WORK IS PRIMARILY INVOLVED WITH COLOUR, TEXTURE, LINE AND THIER DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE CANVAS. ABSTRACTION OFTEN PLAYS A LARGE PART AND IMAGES ARE EVOCATIONS OF THE 'FEEL OF PLACES' RATHER THAN THE FAITHFUL REPRODUCTIONS OF THEM.

THE LANDSCAPES ARE INEXTRICIABLY BOUND UP WITH THE LAND, THE SEA AND HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP TO BOTH. THE LOCATION CAN VARY WIDELY, INCLUDING, MOST RECENTLY THE PEAK DISTRICT, NORTH WEST SCOTLAND, NORTH WALES AND THE LAKE DISTRICT.

I AM FREQUENTLY PREOCCUPIED WITH THE POINT AT WHICH THE LAND AND SEA MEET, WITH SHORELINES, HILLS ON THE HORIZON WITH THE TREES WHICH POPULATE ITS SURFACE. ALSO MANS INTERACTION WITH THE LAND, FOCUSSING ON THE CARVING OF A SCENE WITH FENCING AND FORESTRY.
