ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Painting: Ink, Gesso, Acrylic and Wax on marine ply. This painting was made in response to memories of Cornwall. Whilst it is not of a specific place, there is a sense that the viewer is up high, looking out across the landscape with eyes focused on the sky. Liquid Light III was made using light fast acrylic inks on gesso on a custom made marine ply base. I mix the gesso from scratch and build it up in layers, sanding between each layer to create a smooth, porcelain-like surface. Once the surface is ready, I build up layers using the inks. Brushes, sandpaper, wire wool and wood carving tools, help me to push the inks into the surface to create the painting. The journey of each painting starts with walking and running, observational drawings and 'fast' photography. I aim to capture the root of an experience, rather than the specific place, and often rely on body memory and intuition when painting in the studio. The paintings are a type of conversation between the materials and me. I am influenced by changes of light, land and weather in the world around me.

I am inspired by light, land, sky, and weather. The paintings are amalgamations of journeys taken on foot by running and walking. They describe and communicate physical, emotional and visual experiences of landscape. I typically emphasise the sky and remove signs of human habitation. By doing this I hope to offer you space to breathe and be, to be immersed or uplifted, to connect with your own memories of landscape. The paintings are made using a traditional gesso ground on birch or poplar. I prepare the gesso surface over a number of days. When I am ready to make a painting, I create texture by painting with the gesso and carving into the surface with wire wool, sandpaper and wood carving tools. Next I work with high quality light fast acrylic inks and push the pigment into the surfaces I have created. Alex has exhibited widely in the UK, working regularly with The Other Art Fair presented by Saatchi Art. She has work in private collections in France, Germany, Norway, the USA, Japan and the UK.
