A RETURN TO THE DARKNESS

The darkness has returned. These latest paintings are marking pathways on the membrane of remembrance. Memory is fragmentary- its images return to us in the form of images grasped from the 'real' and 'imaginary'; layering over each other.

These landscapes are 'collaged' together from many journeys from many sources; some traveled physically and some experienced through the imagination. Our surroundings bear not only our own footprints but also the imprints of others - and as such our memories are not singular but communal. 

The trees are significant markers through the landscape, becoming surreal with their flattened renditions appearing like ruptures or scaring through the surface of the images.
