Oil on Yupo Paper

These works trace the undulations of specific walks/ways through the bogland and hillsides of the North West Irish landscape, specifically at Glanmore Lake, Donegal. The earth sways underfoot, wind trembles through soft bog cotton, and vistas stretch out in vast panoramas. There is a contrast between the ragged cliff faces that crash down into surging Atlantic waves to the west, and the soft rolling mammoth hills stretching back towards the east. Colour is used as a marker of terrain and responds to light and shadow. The use of negative space allows the eye to travel around the painting, reading each gesture on its own, and then as part of a whole.

The works are created using oil paints, both thickly applied and watered down into transparent washes. As colours blend, new hues emerge adding to the sense of layering.
