About this artwork
Materials
The material basis of this collection are pigments with a relationship to the history of the South West coast of England, particularly Dorset and Cornwall.
Form
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 involving heat and magma, periods of cool and water, volcanic activity and ice, the movement of tectonic plates, intrusion and metamorphosis.
And in the layering of the paint a metaphor for smuggling questioning the romanticism of the local mythology, including ideas of obfuscation in the smuggling and the myths, which in turn have an echo with myth building in the now.
