This uplifting, lyrical painting was inspired by the landscapes that have been shaped by natural forces. Richly textural layers of acrylic paint, inks, pastels and gelli printed collage pieces create a tactile surface of abstract marks evoking eroded rocks and limestone outcrops alongside the large foreground’s forceful, linear shapes reminiscent of organic forms or underground caves. I used a very limited colour palette of inky blues, chalky whites, ochres and earthy greens to emphasise these textural qualities and placed the horizon line very high to suggest a feeling of awe. Everything has evolved from the weathered rock – the stone walls, houses and angular trees – going right up into the distant hills – like echoes.
