Air scapes, the sky, the void above, this exhibition is an exploration of that romantic space just above the horizon, the distant brought to the present.
 
The ephemeral cloudscapes of older painters, Dutch masters, Canaletto, Constable and Turner were the springboard for this body of work. My initial idea came from looking at small sections, patches of skies and wanting to enlarge them until distance enveloped all of space.
 
In my sky fragments, there is interplay between paint, light and tracery. Through a layering of on average two hundred films of acrylic, each work becomes an aggregated depth and surface of shifts and distortions.
