The images captioned M3.1 to M3.9 are a part of the current M3 project. They are on just two themes- Blaenau Ffestiniog with it's slate workings, and the now-ceased tin mining workings in West Penwith, Cornwall.
The paintings M3.1 to M3.6 are asymmetrical canvases, stretched over shaped board/ timber backing. The edge shapes relate to the particular forms found in the landscapes on which they are based-
the fractured slate of Blaenau, the coast line and lodes in Cornwall.
The paintings are textured, with added collage in canvas and board, and colour laid on in multiple layers. The harder edged, square and rectangular shapes represent the man-made features, within the more
organic lines of the dominating landscape. Although each painting starts from a sketch or study of the landscape, it can take on an autonomous identity- to work as an independent and balanced work-
this is the aim.
I will be happy to maintain a list of those who would like to be
updated on this project, and in due course invited to come and see
the work. This can be done by using the e-mail page on this website.
