Abbotsbury #1 Sculpture

My work focuses on creating contemporary and abstract compositions using traditional media and techniques such as acrylics, inks, canvas and board. I look at the deterioration of materials such as walls, buildings, fabrics and the natural weathered ageing process of painted surfaces for the inspiration to create my work. As well as this, I like to create abstract wall art using drift wood and found or recycled objects. These are often found whilst walking my Ridgeback on the beaches of the Dorset coastline where I live. I enjoy creating layered, textured and weathered looking works that can be achieved with a basic palette knife. I find these to be the most natural and effective forms to create the artworks that reflect me and the type of art that I enjoy.
