Latin for ‘checkpoint, stone, milestone, waymark’

For this project I’m taking the idea of ‘Waymark’ – marking our way, something solidly lying there waiting to be discovered.

Often these gems are hidden in plain sight. Abstract art in the landscape, texture and colours created by nature.

Open surfaces inviting exploration, changing with the elements, weathered by time

How many journeys, walks and trips have we been looking, but not seeing these stones, way markers and their abstract art. Here are some examples my camera and I discovered … landscape photography looking for fine art.

These prints and cards are on show and for sale at the Kings Street Studios, Art Fair at the Storey, Main Gallery, Lancaster UK (until Dec 19th 2022)

Rediscovering Drawing

Its been quite a while since I last sharpened my pencils but I have really been enjoying rediscovering the pleasure of a sooty 6B. Time can just disappear when I start to concentrate on capturing the essence of a scene and the rhythm of mindful, mark making is a perfect antidote to the perpetual, pandemic news of the media.

I’ve managed to attend a couple of Zoom drawing workshops and found them fun and encouraging. Just need to keep it going and establish my practise …

Lockdown Painting

The Platform Gallery, Clitheroe hosted an exhibition of ‘Isolation Art’ in August 2020. It highlighted the work of local artists who had created Art -paintings, poetry, photographs based on 9 weekly themes. These themes inspired me to dust off my palette and paint a series of square paintings that were included in this exhibition. They were inspired by my lockdown walks and featured scenes, sky, animals and found objects.

Corners of the street where I live

No Comments on Corners of the street where I live

Staying local throughout Lockdown meant lots of retracing footsteps from the day before and big decisions such as “do I turn left or right outside the gate?” A small village with one main street, you could be forgiven for thinking that the same walk day after day would be boring!

I decided to revisit an idea for a project and thought that it suited the climate of the pandemic. ‘Corners of the street where I live’ The idea behind this was simple – to look for lots of corners on my daily walk. Our worlds had got smaller as travel was restricted so the idea of going in and focussing on the small details appealed. It actually opened the door into another world as there were corners wherever I looked.

The final images were presented locked into in a grid, conformed and regulated and displaying their own corners.
