Artist Statement:
nuance
at the beach watching -
fragile patterns created in
the sand,
as the waves seep back into
the ocean,
a sense of repetitive yet
shifting interplay -
between sea and sand,
pounding turmoil of the
breakers,
energy of the ocean currents,
quiet serenity of the marine
floor.
recalling similar patterns,
textures and colours
in coastal sandstone cliff
faces
and underground sandstone,
made visible via man-made
tunnels
and roadside cuttings,
allowing glimpses of
underlying
geology, shaping the city.
undulations, spheres and
splits
reveal where rivers and
washouts
passed through the sand and
soil,
leaching, sifting and sorting
the particles,
forming the landscape.
exploring a painting process,
mimicing this natural cycle,
capturing the movement of
water through sediment
whilst isolating individual
layers.
washes of pigment granules
across large pieces of
watercolour paper,
reling on intuition, chance
and playful experimentation,
conveying a sense of movement
through
the tactile quality of the
materials.
natural cycles of erosion,
continuance and sedimentation,
echoed in the paintings’
composition,
process and palette,
recalling the currents and
cycles
of the earth beneath us.
