ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Making chance and change. I made studies of piles of waste building materials, waste plaster, card and timber. The shape of the piles of waste changed over time as elements of wind and rain had an erosive and corrosive effect. An aerial view. This image will be sent rolled in a secure tube.

I am a British Artist based in Dorset, I studied Sculpture and Printmaking at Loughborough College of Art and Design. . Much of my work originates from landscape and the natural environment - the nature and character of a place and its spiritual significance - as well as from the process of making which is informed by the subject. I am particularly interested in questions of scale, space and geological features and I often return to places after periods of time to see whether the weather has affected the appearance of surfaces. I also use the sounds of the natural environment to influence drawings, such as the sound of a flock of birds, the rain or the wind, as well as the geometric systems for dividing land, particularly for vine growing, near where I live in France. Rather than colours, I rely on the innate tones of black pastel, charcoal and Indian ink, all of which can create debris that I sometimes integrate into the composition of the image and contributes to its meaning. My work is often large in scale and reflects the physical exertion of mark-making. I really wish that my work could be as big as the open air. The nature of the stimulus informs the method of making. Basically, my work is really all about the making. That is not enough for lots, they want to see the meaning of life, Marilyn Munroe even!
