‘I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed with seeing, like the wordless thought that comes with looking into a fire’.
(James Turrel, 1968)

I’m interested in capturing the raw experience of wilderness, not in a topographical sense, rather as a sensation. I perceive these landscape paintings as a response to the Romantic tradition of presenting the terrible ‘Sublime’ in nature, however my approach is rather more profane.
This series of paintings seeks to evoke the union between physicality and intangibility in a purely aesthetic sense, – a marriage between plasticicity of surface and the illusion of light and depth which I hope function as abstractions onto the wilderness.
