Quiet rain [iii] Collage

This series of works was inspired by the gentle colours of the English landscape when rain can be seen falling from a distance. I wanted to make work which created a calm and reflective atmosphere which would soothe the mind. The use of collaged paper gives the work a sense of chance and immediacy, as does the use of drips and thin glazes. I like to allow the paintings to breathe and to dictate the direction they take. The depth of the canvas means they can be hung unframed from nails in the wall, giving a sense of space around them. Landscape without boundaries.
