Original artwork description:

This painting uses soil collected from a cycle into the Quantock and off road, exploring old track ways connecting one area to another. The soil was collected from a wooded area and used in the process of allowing material to move about in collected snow water in a tray.

Through subtle influences of manipulation from the artist and a variety of binders and liquids used to influence the way in which the collected material and Indian Ink will behave, following a Zen process of flow and reaction.

This has created a painting that is contemplative and spacious, exploring the importance of space and how it contributes to bring form and movement to an image.

Materials used:

Soil, Indian Ink, Postcard, Greyboard, Satin Varnish, PVA, Turps, Linseed Oil.
