" A long way to find spring", each 50 cm x 50 cm.

"Harerut Veins", 160 cm x 65 cm. Paints and threads on canvas.

Though initially thinking of a river and its way across land I have to now think of thin skin and tendons stretching over a surface... connecting elements, .... or the nerves of history feeling across time...

"Shiny Bay", 130 cm x 100 cm.

I have been thinking of the surface of the Earth as an ever changing canvas, that produces marks and colours out of its own nature. Not only that though, "un-natural" processes leave their traces, patches and more severe signs of manipulation.

"Dark Peak Safari", 165cm x 65 cm.

"Vast memories to walk", 50 cm x 50 cm.

Making these two it felt like a rather breathless walk to look from one end of the scenery to the other. I had to think of the hardship of travelling on foot...

I have called this "Ancient waters". I am fascinated how time leaves marks on land and how change, manmade or naturally occuring becomes visually apparent.

Each of these is 52 cm x 71 cm, so together, the make a display about 160 cm wide.

"Silk road findings", 50 cm x 50 cm. Sold.

There is this temptation of wanting to find things just underneath the surface (of landscape, of a picture, some artwork) that work as a reminder of a story or something that really did happen.

Where I live, there is this double carriage way called the Silk Road. People used it to transport silks - yard and woven cloth - along it. A lot of its history is not that easily revealed ... and I like to think of the parallelisms with the Silk Road in Central Asia.

134 cm x 65 cm, including the frame.

A thin layer of fabric carries delicate drawings in thread. These float above a layer of acrylic abstracts hinting at a landscape. The scenes are taken from places in Manchester town centre.... try to find the statue of Queen Victoria.
