Artist's description:
Selected Print for the IN:SIGHT (Washington Green) New Artists Competition 2015
"I was fascinated by the multitude of different colours in the rock and the natural uterus shape within it's folds. The veins of rock are feeding the womb and the fact that life itself was born out of molten rock is still mind-blowingly incredible. There is a melancholy about this foetus being an ageing man, the hopes for life and future, and the part we play on the planet, are maybe never realised in so many people, or maybe are still waiting to grow and be nurtured even in later life. Ultimately, perhaps all we have ever had was hope and dreams, during this blip on earth called life"
"Landscape Figures" explores the relationship between organic human figures and a notional 'wild landscape'.

“Although the nude is vital to the project and integral within the images, the images are not just ‘nudes’ – they are landscapes and stories. In a way they are just simple, beautiful, dreamlike visual questions”.
