About The Artwork

Regardless of one’s position in the world there is a shared horizon that connects all humanity. Sometimes through time or circumstance, the horizon can become obscured. A loss of perspective or lack of focus hinders our progress into the unknown future. Similarly the horizon might only be understood from a singular position. This can narrow and distort our understanding of our place in the world. This 1/28, all made to the same dimensions and set out to a regime are in direct opposition to a previous body of work. Each painting takes its title from a line of the poem “The Second Coming” by W.B Yeats. Written in 1919 the poem which depicts a sinister prospect for Humanity. There is a sense that we approach another period of change. Although there is a defined mechanism in place for the initiation of each painting, the end result is of course different. My practice has developed through working in encaustics, combining the fluidity of the beeswax & damar resin with the vibrancy of oil painting. Through this bold use of colour applied in layers using heat and carving previous strata, an abstract landscape is summoned into being on the heavily worked birch ply surface.

The work tries to explain an aggregated view of my world. Satellite imagery, photography and personal experience all contribute. The work currently is a combination of encaustic and oil paints on to birch ply. Hot wax/resin can be mixed with pigment and poured, painted, trowelled or flicked onto the surface. Lots of layering means heavy scrapping back and scaring bring back covered surfaces. I focus on the familiar and the everyday. The work does not take a particular viewpoint but has a sense of pieces and objects considered and explored. I am currently working from my studio in Emly.
