Hope in Blue Print

I've always been fascinated by ruins and nature’s ability to recover once we leave a derelict site alone for some years. At university I used to make models welding and sticking together rusty old beams and bits and pieces of things which are no longer considered objects, found by the River Thames. As I visit another fascinating spot here in Sicily, I contemplate the damage we make to the environment when building, collecting bits and pieces, nails and old building materials to make marks in my panting, telling a story of an once-important site which today tells a tale of failure dipped in thick asbestos. I reverse-engineer my architectural background, taking shadows of the old building and adorning a page of my visual diary, this painting. As I nail it to the walls, I contemplate nature’s return to this site, in the bushy plants growing everywhere, in the stunning sea view from the site and the absolute silence. I ask myself: is the cost of progress too high, now that we’re suffering the floods, the fires and nature biting back everywhere? I find, for now, hope in blue.
