Nothing As It Seems

Nothing As it Seems' is a body of landscape paintings, questioning our relationship with our surroundings.

The object is slowly merging with its environment: landscape and object becoming one. 

Primarily working with my everyday landscape, familiar places and imaginary locations, a fantastical landscape emerges from this jigsaw of ideas . Life is given to these solitary landscapes, creating a presence: a void, a suggestion that something ‘other' is there. 

Trees, with their Limb like branches, skin like bark, and their silent gaze begin to dominate my landscapes.

An ‘animalistic' hierarchy is evident among the plants and trees.  

Timelessness is once again captured, a sense of uncertainty and intrigue are present as we enter these places.
