Within this new exhibition I share my personal journey. I have travelled widely over many years with sketchbooks and camera my constant companions. Back in the studio these initial reference images guide my initial transpositions from memory to creation. Experiment and representation lead to abstraction and symbolism. When I observe tides, weather patterns and nature’s cycles I experience personal Zen moments of detachment. In the studio these then release intuitive calligraphic marks. Light shifts, structures dissolve. The emotional presence of the landscape is unearthed.
