Arial View Painting

I am concerned primarily with the natural world in my work. Natural forms and the lines they make, the colours and tones within them, their texture, the myths surrounding landscape; they all hold a special place in our visual language. They serve as a reference for colours we recognise, forms we recognise and the natural world we mostly learn about through television, the internet and from photographs. I play upon this idea of imagined landscape, exaggerating how these places we have never seen are seen in our mind's eye - a collage constructed from second hand information.
