‘Shorngate Currick I’ is the product of a deep immersion in the Northumbrian high fells environment. This large-scale drawing was created on-site during a residency at Allenheads Contemporary Arts Centre in Northumberland. Permanence and impermanence are in balance. ‘Shorngate Currick I’ is an enduring testament to human presence in the landscape. Masking tape lines describe and echo the careful yet haphazard ad-hoc repairs to the structure. Standing as a refuge against fierce winds and bleak fells weather, the currick appears at once as the only static form in the rapid movement of the elements around it, yet a strong energy and force in its own right. Created as a triptych, the drawing is held in tension, conveying a layering and compression of time, space, place, repair and renewal. Boundaries exist between figuration and abstraction, expression, memory and reality. This triptych comprises three paper-based mixed-media drawings, each vacuum-pressed onto board and heat-sealed for durability. The panels are float-mounted onto a wooden frame.

I am an artist with an affinity for wilderness, a concern for environment and a need for community. I exhibit extensively, lead collaborative, participatory and development projects and was elected an academician at the Royal West of England Academy of Art in 2016. A persistent curiosity about physical and conceptual relationships with the environment drives my work. Exploring the physical world is central to my practice, examining notions of ‘permanence and impermanence’ and ‘substance and essence’, including human and animal relationships with the environment. I absorb my subject through direct experiences and researched information, often using low-tech video footage as the source and starting point for reprocessing the subject through drawing and painting. From 2013-2016 I jointly undertook a collaborative project called Flock Together, working with fellow academician Debbie Locke RWA to research and create a body of works which interrogate and reinterpret sheep farming activity in the Blackdown Hills AONB in the South West of England. In contrast to the over-saturated, heightened, screen-based reality through which we increasingly experience our environment, my paintings and drawings reclaim the world as a personal encounter of depth and complexity. Painting for me is a necessarily ponderous activity. My gestures and marks speak of authorship and authenticity. My works present a re-enchantment with the world.
