I’ve always been fascinated by texture in artworks. You just want to reach out and touch it. All those abstracted marks and random accidents that happen when you push and pull textured materials around a canvas or across a board. It’s a kind of magic that forms some amazing touches and characteristics. I find these effects stunning to look at and notice they often mimic the natural textures we see every day in the landscape.

Other surfaces, including super smooth glossy resins also just intrigue me. That ’magpie eye’ for smooth and shiny things is somehow engrained in people, myself included. A crystal clear lake or gently flowing stream has that similar look and feel in nature.

With these fascinations in mind, I’ve added and mixed these textural extremes together in to create the artworks for this exhibition “Tactile, Textured Terrain”

Exhibition opening: 2-4pm Sat 9 March 2024
