About
Through paint I attempt to create an original visual language, to open up a refreshing and sentient perspective of the natural landscape of St Ives, Cornwall. In reference to phenomenology, this is identifiable as an integrated or embodied experience. Phenomenology allows us to explore our relationship to the world using all our senses. My practice considers phenomenological experience as a way to translate and visualise how I internalise and engage with the landscape. I am explorative and experimental as I attempt to challenge my theoretical concepts and technical approach, to increase visual dynamic. My process is intuitive, working instinctively. With a basis in colour theory and aesthetics, I use colour in a playful manner as an extension of the landscape. Through integrated and complex layers of brush strokes, graphic line, colour blocks and repeat patterns, I aim to increase visual dynamic and depth, to create a pathway for visual exploration.
