Artist Statement
The Pathetic Fallacy. We create myths and metaphors to live by. In painting and the arts generally, one of them is landscape, the natural landscape; a recent phenomenon that reflects the inner self.
Method of Working
Oil on stretched canvas, or prepared panels with chalk based gesso. Attention given to surface texture. Tools, brushes, spatulas, pallet knives, tonking, etc, sometimes acrylic on a small scale.
