Night Leaves

Mixed media including bitumen and cement with assemblage on canvas
2014  8″x 8″ x 2″

A continuation from the ‘bare roots’ series, this piece relies more on composition and texture. The natural colour of the cement ground is more obvious.
In Night Leaves there is also a more deliberate attempt to create a sense of allegory.

Bare Roots and Other Things Unearthed

Bare Roots I

Bare Roots; the origins revealed or left by paring to the essentials. Again this concerns beginnings. A continuation from the ‘grass roots’ series, these pieces rely more on composition and texture and surface. The natural colour of the cement ground is more obvious than in many of the other pieces.

Grass Roots

A series of four small (8″sq) paintings using mixed media and cement on canvas.

Grass Roots: the origin or basis of something; the basic or primary concept, rule, part, or the like. Again this concerns beginnings. Each piece started with a fragment of grass root from local moorland. These pieces also use collaged fragments of imagery created through digital manipulation of my landscape photography.
