My starting point for the artwork was a mountainous landscape, with enough abstraction to allow for varying interpretations. I tried to create an image that was grounded through the suggestion of natural forms but had a touch of ambiguity as to the specific scene. The image can morph between a snowy mountain range, an ocean, a cave and anything that the imagination can pinpoint. This way, the artwork can engage and initiate discussions, prompt stories and rekindle experiences. I started with a simple pencil sketch to find a composition that I could build on. I hand stretched and primed the canvas, then loosely painted on the chosen composition. From this, I used a large brush to freely apply the base colours and shading on the canvas. As I built up the layers of paint, I homed in on the design and the lines became more delicate. The final composition has a mixture of larger brush marks and intricate line work. I enjoy working in this style as it means that the viewer can come closer to the artwork and discover more, rather than all being revealed in a single glance. I strongly believe that art can bring us closer to our environment and those we surround ourselves with; this was a thought that seeped into the painting when adding the fine lines that weave and merge with the background, interconnecting each section of the artwork.
