About this artwork
My fascination with how 'we' interact at the margins between land and water has always been part of my DNA. I have always been drawn to the constant movement along the shoreline be it along the edge of a lake, a harbour setting, the sea on a stoney beach or a cliff edge. On this particular occasion, whilst walking outside in the early evening sunrays the light glistened across the water as the tide gently receded into the distance. It literally…
felt as though the sparkling waters were spreading life and colour across the landscape.
I prefer to express the colours more as my reaction to that moment in the landscape rather than represent them as 'local colour' representationally. For me it is more about the mood of the place at a moment in time and how that can be captured.
