Wild Nature
"Our imaginative affinities with the natural world are a crucial ecological bond, as essential to us as our material needs for air and water and photosynthesising plants."
Landscape painting speaks inevitably to ecological decline. Every view of nature is a view of something lost or in transition to being lost. Abundance is a memory or a flight of the imagination. My paintings are of a thing in decline, but nevertheless a thing still full of power.
