Studio Update February 2024
Last year saw me continuing my journey of finding ways to express the prospective landscape of the Severn in 20 years time, when melting ice caps and rising seas have altered it. When, according to climate change projections, hills will become islands.
I have been developing a method of working that is new to me - creating paper litho images. I find printmaking processes fascinating and have immersed myself in experimenting with this fickle way of working. The surface is fascinating, the process challenges me. Wet paper is prone to collapse, as are fragile cliffs.
This year I am returning to my interest in creating video installations. There will also be prints, and drawings. I may well bring all these activities together to respond to the local landscape in the Forest of Dean in a new way.
I continue to question about what we mean by the term ‘landscape art’. I have more questions than answers. Many works are made using elements of the earth or weather. Some of the drawings portray a future imagined ‘landscape’, some present existing landscapes, or features.
You will find my films on Vimeo.
