‘Woods And Water’ Triptych. 2100mm x 3600mm Acrylic On Canvas ©2021
This signature piece was commissioned by Haller Clarke on behalf of Bywater Properties. Installed at 35DP Belfast. Read the interview here.
A Belfast landscape inspired by the hidden history below our feet. The 3 rivers that still flow far below the city’s pavements, surrounded by high hills and ancient woods. Exploring emotion & intuitions, the painting is built with layers like stratified history, each stroke a different place discovered and uncovered.
A sense of belonging and meaning are explored. Time collides in the past, present and future, all running alongside. I feel joy and wisdom in these stories. The poetic presence of the literary and mythological. The ideas that take root and flourish in the imagination. By travelling within this inner space I return to the roots of this city, expressed without objects and clutter - just joy and the landscape.
