Description
Looking at a flaming sky towards a distant green planet, with its promise of quiet and calm. Like a lot of my work, this piece is about longing for peaceful existence and the possibilities that lie beyond our immediate selves. The image is 8″ x 10″ and comes with a thin white border to allow for framing. The second picture is for illustration only and the piece ships unframed.
My work explores the connection between structure and spontaneity through the use colour and texture. I use geometric forms, organic shapes, and contrasting palettes to create abstractions that invite reflection. Circles, divisions, fragmented grids and lines recur in my work, suggestive of cycles, boundaries, transitions and moments of in time. My process is experimental, intuitive and responsive, drawing on a sensory experience that is frequently out of step with the world. Through layering, scraping, printing, and overpainting, I often allow traces of earlier missteps to remain visible, revealing a history embedded within each piece. The use of colour informs my work, with strong contrasting shades evoking energy and dissonance, and cooler tones reflecting calmness, balance and contemplation.
