Landscapes

Landscape is a ‘poetic means to imagine our place in the world, the ambiguity or ‘paradox of landscape is that it is both what is other to the human subject; land, place, nature, and yet it is also a place for projection, and can become a sublimated self-portrait’

A short preview of part of 'The Lamp and The Veil' Exhibition opening this Saturday July 2nd @queenstgallery . There are over 30 of my colourful abstract paintings on show along with beautiful ceramic sculptures @bluebeartbird . We have responded to the wonderfully vivid and metaphysical poetry of Vernon Watkins. The words and verse of 'Sea Music for my Sister Travelling' have taken us on a mystical sea journey to distant lands and other worlds scattered with strange sea creatures, sybils, birds, mermaids and shipwrecks.

The Lamp and The Veil, oil on canvas, 5ft x 5ft and Valerie James' wonderful interpretation of my painting in response to Vernon Watkin's lines from his epic poem 'Sea Music for My Sister Travelling'

'Scattered in drift of sunbeams and the spindrift whirl' oil on canvas. One of my paintings on show in The Lamp and the Veil @queenstgallery opening on July 2nd - 31st .

'Vortex and mysteries of ice......'oil on linen. 50 cm x 50 cm. One of the paintings that will be part of The Lamp and the Veil Exhibition @queenstgallery with @bluebeartbird and her wonderful ceramics. In response to Vernon Watkins poetry trilogy. Especially one of the poems - Sea Music for my Sister travelling - a three hundred line poem which is a fantastical and metaphysical journey all about his sister Dorothy who was helping the evacuation of children to Canada during World War 2. Vernon was in bombed and devastated Swansea and had no contact with his sister, but was imagining the worst. Luckily she survived the war.My father should have been on one of those boats , but the day before his crossing from Birmingham, one of the boats was torpedoed and sank. My grandmother evacuated him to a farm in Betws y Coed instead. The title of the poem also resonates as my sister passed away 11 years ago and I can imagine her travelling in this fantastical and metaphysical journey that Watkins so wonderfully articulates. #seamusicformysistertravelling #vernonwatkins #welshpoetry #sea #coastalart #abstractpainting #metaphysical #welshart #gallery #limitedpalette
