re - imaginings

The subject is the landscape. Working within the studio and from Greenock workshops there are familiar elements of the landscape appearing in these works: rolling hills, still water of the river Clyde, early dawn, cusp of duskness, capturing an atmosphere, conveying a sense of the more ethereal essence of a particular landscape.

These works on paper focus on composition as a way of re-imagining new and existing work. Working with the frame to capture a composition, the other pieces of the original art work were reconfigured to create a new harmonious collage. The two pieces are considered as a diptych (frame and collage) sitting side by side in dialogue with each other.

The medium, liquid graphite, helps to convey an esoteric landscape, flickering light, moving shadow, drawing the viewer in and hinting at this re-imagined landscape.
