About The Artwork
'Earth' forms part of a collection of 5 x paintings on the theme of the 5 Elements - Earth, Fire, Air, Spirit and Water. The 5th Element of Spirit is glimpsed in all 5 paintings in an elusive oval shape. If you are interested in finding out about all 5 paintings in the series, please contact me directly; 07951 415699 'Earth - Footsteps in the Sand' was inspired by a trip to South Africa and visiting local villages and the ever shifting footsteps in the sand of the village communal spaces. This artwork relates to my interest in Encaustic painting - an ancient technique that uses layers of heated beeswax, to which pigments and mixed media are added. It is a medium that appeals strongly to the senses. The seductive process of Encaustic is currently enjoying a huge revival in USA and it is where I discovered its possibilities, whilst on a scholarship residency to New York, 2010. However, it still remains unusual in UK. This painting forms part of the 'Elements' collection of paintings in Oil, Acrylic and Digital Media take inspiration from the qualities inherent in the Encaustic process. Here, I also aim for a translucent, shimmering quality so that within the finished image the viewer can see or partially see what has gone on before. The multi layers act like windows upon windows. By this process, the artwork transmutes into a mysterious, unknown new entity that is much more than the sum of its parts. Akin to Alchemy, it is a seemingly magical process of transformation. The subject is at once recognisable and yet not quite recognisable; occupying the space of metaphor and yet drawing inspiration from the natural world. I am interested in all that is fleeting. Whether the subjects are clouds scudding over pools, ripples over water, shadows hovering on a spring day or footsteps in sand; perhaps it is in these elusive and transitory events that Eternity can be glimpsed.
