£150
Original artwork description
A very small piece, made from memory and imagination of the moors between Denbigh and Snowdonia in North Wales. That stretch of country has a particular bleakness to it, vast and featureless in a way that is hard to ignore. We have spent a lot of time in North Wales as a family, and this landscape has stayed with me. The Sakura oil pastels I used here are greasy and resistant, and the marks they make have a physical weight that suited the subject. The surface ended up looking almost like a seascape, which I hadn't planned, but perhaps the moorland and the sea have more in common than I might think. A small, intimate piece, best seen close up, near a desk or bedside where the texture of the surface becomes part of the experience.
