Mark and Memory

Rather than representing any specific viewpoint, I gather together the impactful elements of the landscape as I remember experiencing them. Gradually the themes, colours and shapes emerge: pinks of rock and sand; russet and green bracken; the shape of erratics on the horizon line .

Using sketchbooks and paper, and working through many iterations of mark making, colour mixing, layering and combining materials, gradually a process for this specific landscape begins to build. Like a language, the marks and movements, colours shapes and space hold the memory of being there.
