Painting with Earth: North Devon 2008-10

The use of locally discovered pigments has brought my work intimately in touch with the idea of ‘artistic process’; from gathering the materials and mixing and creating my own paints, to producing images alive with the deep resonance of the natural world. The work explores the spiritual and visual implications of quantum theory drawing parallels with the imagery and intentions of aboriginal cultures from across the world.
