I aim to develop a body of work focused on landscape and geometric design. By painting landscape I infuse myself with the essence of a place—I relive the balmy expansion of summer sea, or black tendrils of winter birch,  mirroring my psyche in the patterns of earth and air.  If our bodies are focal points within a matrix of millions of molecularly shared life forms, the language of mathematics underpins all of life experience. The rules and consistent proportion of mathematics and geometry make an interesting counterpoint to the intuitive physicality of our animal bodies. Maths uses numerical symbols to represent objective truths, perhaps just as color and can encode subjective truth. I shall visually explore the living land  and sensual body, in contrast to harmonic proportion and logic, to learn what lies between them.  This project is a meditation on the mind/body split, a study on the pure form of color and design, and an engagement in the art historical swing between abstraction and figuration.
