Geometrics
I visited the Jökulsárlón floating glaciers in Iceland up close and witnessed a large piece of the glacier cleave off into the water. This struck me to the core, the loss, the inevitable change to come.
I have always been interested in the human connection to landscape and how landscape is a part of our inner self. These paintings are my expression of the views around us. Like much of my work they are dreamlike and abstract. Vignettes of crystalline quilts covering sleeping boulders enter the imaginary mind.
Ghostly Northern Lights and starlit nights watched warmly from an ancient hotspring reminds me of our connection to the elements and of our humanity.
With this comes the feeling of responsibility and fear of the loss of earths gifts. So I paint and honour the land and meditate on how to be a better earthling.
