On the ledges
Reading the ground before any work begins.

Above the sea
Hanging around with no outcome in mind.
Straight into the book
Site earths, worked wet across the page.
In the thicket
Weather is neither good nor bad. It simply is.

Where to see the work
Everything that's onNo exhibition is open at this moment. Work is with these three galleries year round, and the studio selection is always current.
The ground it came from
All placesThe practice
‘There is magic underfoot’
Work is made on the ground. Rucksack essentials consist of a surface to paint on, a couple of brushes, primary colours, a tube of white and a binding medium.
‘Hanging around’ in the landscape with no outcome in mind is an intentional stance. Something always occurs: the light changes, the tide turns, a particular rock formation crops up, an atmosphere shifts. Then, the work begins.
