Direct working in
the
landscape using a mixture of
water-based media, is messy
and challenging in a corporeal
way. Its discomfort and
unpredictability are for me all
part of the process.
The weather and all the other
sensations experienced
become active participants
in the creativity.
Watercolour is particularly
responsive to weather and
readily leaves its trace in the
work. The sheet to the right
traces the shifts of light during
a winter dawn.
