These Spaces/ These Places

I’d like to show that the landscape is a place of secrets and a space of intimacy - where reflections, shadows and moments beneath the surface are able to be expressed. Personally, the natural landscape has served this purpose for me, in a world which is at times overwhelming. These reflections and moments, (literally painted in layers beneath the surface), are dark and moody and intimidating yet they hold a sense of comfort, an immersive, ethereal depth of memory through layers of imagery. These painted images; intimate, personal and sensitive moments exist as shadows, traces and memories in the landscape - the meaning is embedded in the space, and is only perceptible as much as you wish it to be.
