“The current global situation is fraught with anxiety and stress so I wanted this body of work to be a complete escape from that. Take my affection for and curiosity with the natural world and through my hundreds of images of it, sample, collage, redraw, simplify and essentially compose new landscapes in which abstract and representational elements co-exist in what I hope is an unorthodox harmony without boundary and still moving. I intended to create a collision of worlds on the canvas. The first being digital, transient, manipulated and geographically impossible which collapses space and distance, hinting at volatility and chaos. The second world is beautiful, energetic and marked by abstraction, a place in which to get lost. I see where the visual story takes me, the journey becoming the destination and the process, the content.”
