My work is a visual language which reflects elements within urban and rural landscapes that fade away through time, a reminder of the process, resilience and fragility of life. My practice involves capturing moments in time, in nature, significantly within the urban and rural environment. I use plants combined with archeological landscape space revealing trace marks, residual patterns, which evolve naturally. Various shapes and forms created within these spaces often reveal hidden landscape scenes. The work involves Incorporating mark making with washes and decayed flora onto the canvas, evoking residual traces and ephemeral impacts. I am interested in integrating both landscape and archeological form into unified collaboration, intending to portray a pleasing aesthetic within the finished pieces. It is important for me to have an historical context incorporated into my contemporary painterly approach. The work displays a physicality and acknowledges the gap between the old and the new. Using a variety of delicate and gestural strokes onto the canvas I endeavor to manifest time’s accumulation with my own personal experiences and emotional feelings at the time. Using a painterly approach in exploring colour, form, texture I am interested in creating a sense of uniformity with my paintings, with slight variations of hand on the finished boards and canvases.
