About The Artwork

Where I live in the Monchique mountains, our water comes directly from Foia, (the highest peak in the Algarve). The end of our water pipes is positioned on the edge of a waterfall high above the hamlet of Chilrao. The water supply is very susceptible to wind and rain, so after such a storm, myself or one of the neighbours will take this path to check the junction where the water is directed into individual pipes for the houses. During the summer, the path was almost glittering with the light dappling through the trees, along with the tree shadows falling on the leafy ground, The rather pointillist style was my way of expressing this light falling on the path.
