Horizon.
is very much about creating a sense of the rural landscape in which I live. The horizon line and big skies are a presence I hope is inferred in these paintings. Cycles of heat, wind, rain, drought, fire, alter the land and its surfaces year in, year out. Through a complex mix of textured mediums and many layers of washed glazes I want to express the nuance and transience of those surfaces. In a time where we are constantly overloaded with visual images, the minimalist aesthetic of this painting offers a moment of quiet and peaceful contemplation.
Creating the Horizon works has felt very natural and unforced for me. Within the processes involved there is a deep sense of connection to the paintings as I bring them to life through various mediums. Time seems to fade away, and I become fully immersed in the present moment, completely absorbed in the act of creation. There are no boundaries or restrictions; my ideas and inspirations flow freely, allowing me to express myself authentically. These paintings feel like home to me.
