The Fenland of
East Anglia with its black earth, vast skies and keen east wind
was the landscape of my childhood.
A sense of being able to breathe freely and deeply outside developed
along with an interest in expressing those
feelings in paint. I began to work on location in all weathers because
I welcomed the weather as a participant in
the process of of making (and sometimes loosing) images.
Over the years the locations shift- often northwards as it happens-
and so does the medium,
but the starting point does not. It is all about being somewhere
specific at a particular time:
Experience of Landscape - not only what it looked like but also
what it felt like to be there.
