Oil and acrylic on canvas
76 x 61 cm, 2025
My work approaches themes of Landscape through the lens of gardening practice. As a gardener and horticulturist, I am attuned to the changes, both dramatic and subtle, in my surrounding climate and ecosystems. Personal experiences and social narratives around gardens interlace with themes of weather and plant protagonists to (hopefully) describe a nuanced and pervasive lived experience with Nature and Landscape. The abstract paintings are gestural, textual, dug, scraped and tenderly grown; they reach toward an atmosphere of garden spaces, celebrating the detritus and mess associated with them. Through abstraction I aim to contribute non-figurative visual language, narrating acontemporary experience of being in Landscape.
