Artist’s Statement
I am interested in the human experience of physical space and its representations. I use painting, drawing and video to explore how transitions between real and representational spaces are experienced. I wish to create situations that offer to the viewer, a means of observing their own shifts in perception. These transitions can resonate optically, physically and emotionally.
The recent oil studies of landscape, painted from nature, during the Spring and Summer of 2020, explore topography and light, mapping the ancient gestures of the lands of the Nore Valley.
