' Surfaces - 2D ' - Over the past 6 months I have been able to devote my time more exclusively to working in new directions that involve imaginative reviews of landscape, natural and elemental and organic sources that surround us.
I have looked more closely at ways of depicting surface and form in a semi-abstract manner. That has expanded my understanding and use of a broader range of media, in a more expressive and gestural way.
This has led me to bring together both 2 and 3 dimensional processes within a single composition.
