DISLOCATED LOCALITY
'Forest' Graphite and oil on board
My submissions are part of a body of work entitled ‘Dislocated locality’: a series of monochromatic images created using my own mixture of graphite and oil which are both descriptive and painterly, specific, yet open to the imagination. Without consciously directing it, my work has become increasingly concerned with the impacts of Climate Change and the fears and challenges that lie ahead.
