I use paint on canvas and mixed media paper collages to depict the development of our rural and urban landscape. I am interested in the influence nature and human activity has had on the layering of our surroundings – traces providing clues from the past but also how wildlife has been able to adapt and exploit the human made changes.
I have painted the view from my home for over two decades and continue to be inspired by the subject. Without the actual depiction of people, I follow a narrative of human activity and passage of time through the succession of household and artificial lighting and seasonal changes.
