About this artwork
Pete has found his solace at high altitude, an experience where being present is a pre-requisite for survival. He is attempting to conqueror the Seven Summits – the highest mountain on each continent. In his words “Mountaineering has become more than a passion for me, it is a pinnacle of self-expression, a pathway to self-actualisation where I feel capable of becoming the truest version of myself. The biggest enemy is stillness in terms of PTSD.…
Solace at high altitude comes in the form of needing to be present 24/7 - whether that be gruelling nature of these expeditions, the breath-taking scenery...not sure...what I do know is up there I feel a lot safer than down here”.
Andy chose Everest as the focus for the painting, because as Pete says “Everest - it's where I'm heading, and one way or another I'll get up there. All these other mountains are a prelude. That's my redemption, the ultimate solace”.
