DREAMSCAPES
The starting point for each artwork in the Dreamscape series is observed study of existing Scottish landscapes. Thereafter, I allow a more dreamlike, intuitive and romantic approach to take over my process. The work is intended to allow the viewer to escape to a place outside of reality, where time of day, season or even a need for plausibility, melt away.
Harmonious layers of merging colour, abstraction, embellishments and mark making as well as an enjoyment of contrasting surfaces and textures, all characterise the works in this collection.
Having moved in the last year to the Scottish Borders, it is unsurprising that elements from the local landscape have been consciously and sometimes unconsciously, been integrated. Expansive and undulating farmland, textured fields, twisted hedgerows, clusters of cottages and the Eildon Hills, have all made an appearance.
