Soil of the Sea/ Uir na Mara aon Painting

Soil of the Sea or Air na Mara aon in Gaelic, is inspired by imagined life under the sea and the depths of history and stories that swirl around and are buried in its waves and mud, and ultimately, our collective connection to the sea. I was inspired by listening to stories of Doggerland on the radio in my studio and learning about the ancient people that used to live in the land that is now the North Sea. Since Covid, I have been a regular sea swimmer and have observed the sea whilst immersed, in many different conditions including by moonlight, in the rain and the snow. The use of oil paint, wax and pigments are used to create texture, layers and depth and I hope the viewers will think about the timelessness of the sea and how it is a sacred source of life. The painting is on a thick stretcher so work very well in a contemporary setting without a frame. This contemporary painting would be a fantastic addition for a home or a business space.
