Showed at the The Other Art Fair
Artist featured in a collection
Part of a new collection of work to be launched at The Other Art Fair in London this Spring. This work is on a very large sheet of paper and ideal for shipping as it can be rolled easily. The Arches huile paper it is on is 100% cotton rag and archival. The painting has been completed with a UV protective varnish. Small Ports and Sea Coves Collection: The material basis of this collection is pigments with a relationship to the history of the South West coast of England, particularly Dorset and Cornwall: The pigments have been hand mullered into oil to make oil paint and panted onto a range of supports The mining related pigments are based on iron, copper, aluminium and kaolin. The sea trade based pigments are indigo, woad, ochres and madder. Then there is mud-rock ochre a pigment derived by the artist from the earth of the Jurassic coast, from a clay formed from eroded materials before people walked on the earth. And sea brick ochre hand made from bricks from cliff fall houses collected from the beach where they have been eroded in the sea. The abstract forms in these paintings contain echoes of the material reality of the South West Coast The particularity of the South West Coast with its small coves comes as a result of the impact of sea erosion on the land which was formed as a result of a dynamic geological history, involving heat and magma, periods of cool and water, volcanic activity and ice, the movement of tectonic plates, intrusion and metamorphosis. Bands of rock of differing densities hit the coast, and are eroded at different speeds, as the sea pierces a harder band a cove forms as it reaches the softer band behind it. Over millions of years the earth moved. Research This collection grew out of the collection before it, researching the arena of my childhood holidays, places which formed me and my ideas of the world and also of beauty. I grew up near to the coast of Dorset and visited regularly. We went on holiday to Cornwall every year for the first 9 years of my life. These places are at the heart of who I am. Much of its history was well known to me already, but in revisiting that history I wanted to explore the metaphorical richness it holds. In particular in my head was a playback of the stories of piracy, smuggling and privateering . The notion of hiding in plain sight. The way in which booty was hidden just below the surface when disguised as lobster pots, the way in which the low tide may reveal all. The way a changing landscape makes something possible that was not possible before, and the way that layers of meaning are hidden within. I do not wish these pieces to be prescriptive, I choose to work in the abstract to leave space for the relationship the viewer needs to have with the pieces. My hope and my joy comes from connections made.
