The Woods Echo Out To Us - East Quay Watchet

Duo exhibition in collaboration with Annie Watkins. Drawing inspiration from the Somerset landscape, my painting series explores the landscape in liminal moments. Through the gap between branches or a pigsty nestled amongst trees; these spaces become portals of infinite possibilities. By soaking my canvas in soil I physically and spiritually connect the work to the place in which it was first conceived. I also presented a creative text - The Branch, The Penny, and The Sky - looking at themes of self-discovery and spiritual encounter I unpack the loss of my mother in 2022. Here, nature becomes a metaphor for the grief I have experienced and the solace I am seeking.
