About the exhibition
Professional studio exhibition of contemporary watercolours and mixed media works on paper during Oxfordshire Artweeks 2023.
Expect to see around 70 framed and more unframed abstract and semi-abstract works, in both richly coloured and more subtle palettes.
The work is made in woodland, urban and acoustic landscapes, and during improvised collaborations in paint and sound with musician Hugo Max. Working sites include Shotover Hill, and an artist residency in the Jelly art hub in Broad Street Mall, Reading.
Moving between different senses - sight, hearing, touch - I make notations from the immediacy of perception, as it comes into being and before words arrive to name the content. The resulting abstractions are the traces of that mindful flow attention to the present moment.
The eloquence of the illegible lines and marks intimates the unsaid or the un-sayable in human experience.
