Memory Landscapes
Most of these pictures were part of my 2026 solo exhibition, Memory landscapes. During the lockdown of 2020, when movement was restricted, most travelling took place in the imagination. I started a series of pictures based on memories and impressions of particular places. Sometimes assisted by studies in my sketch books – and usually by the music I‘m listening to – the sense of a place becomes more important than what it may actually look like.
‘The pictures are a study not just in how the mind recalls and reinterprets, but in how he uses all his skills to present a boundless scene from memory while drawing in the viewer with carefully articulated detail.’ — Catherine Shearn
