Bideford Bridge, an afterthought Painting

Part of the Passing Through Series, a group of paintings based on 200 sketches made whilst travelling through the land from North Devon to the Cornish Coast in England. In these paintings time is in two modes; mappings of the nature of things and the memory of things. Landscapes of a sort, these topologies of place develop in the time-lapse, between the experience and the process of painting. In the time and space between sketching on the road and painting in the studio something happens; the feeling of a place comes to dominate and the gap between sketching and painting allows the subconscious in. Accumulated fragments begin to inhabit a borderland between figuration and abstraction. This one is based on an ink and charcoal sketch done from memory after driving over Bideford Bridge, stopping the car and drawing what i remembered then back in the studio painting from the sketch.
