Living, breathing, vibrant canvasses. A visceral expression and navigation of the transient nature of rural landscape, from the micro to the monumental, pushing the materiality of paint as substance to the extreme. Each holding their own dynamic tensions of collapse, renewal and rebuild. A golden luminescence of light and of colour, beaming across the canvas.

Ultimately, my work seeks to capture the essence of the post-industrial landscape through mapping, collapse, renewal and transition. It reflects my ongoing negotiation with scale, texture, and the balance between chaos and order. This process is not just about depicting a scene but about engaging with it on a profound, almost elemental level, where touch and visual information merge to convey a deeper understanding of our surrounding environment and landscape in a much broader sense.
