Artist Statement:
An exploration into the
inherent poignancy of
failing/changing physicality;
imagery that resonates with
our own vulnerabilities and
inescapable degeneration, our
subservience to lifespan.
These paintings are informed
by natural process,
explorations of geography,
physicality, cause and effect.
As part of an open expanse of
potential meanings, these
paintings aim to work within a
set of limitations and to
create a sense of restriction,
compression, weight. Their
intent is to create space and
surface that snags, tangles
and holds the viewer.
My aim is to create an
emotional sense of space and
place, where time ravages,
wind blows, seas swell, places
are found, days dwindle,
moments are present then past.
Denudation – the wearing away
or progressive lowering of the
Earths surface by various
natural agencies that include
weathering, erosion, mass
wasting and transportation.
Ablation – all processes by
which snow or ice is lost from
a glacier, floating ice, or
snow cover, including melting,
evaporation, wind erosion and
calving.
