About the Item
Acrylic, Texture, Rust, Oxidized Copper, Gold Leaf, Bitumen
Climate Collapse has been happening for years but now as countries are literally on fire around us, is it too late for people to start listening to the pleas’ of the scientists and environmentalists?
Jim Morrison sang about it back in the 60’s, what have ‘they’ done to the Earth?
This piece is a juxtaposition of beauty and decay. Layers of copper and rust, gold leaf and bitumen, making this artistic landscape pleasing to the eye yet slowly changing like some dark alchemy.
Mining for precious metals and gemstones is one of the most destructive industries in the world, destroying environments, displacing communities, polluting water and land.
Whatever will be left is going to burn anyway.
For as long as I can remember I have been interested in details. Not the bigger picture but the finer intricacies, the colours and textures of life. I prefer to find beauty in the bark and lichen on a tree rather than the forest itself. The striations of a rock, the folds of fabric, the wrinkles of skin or the rust and the peeling paint on a weathered object. My work is mostly trying to capture this through colour and texture and the impact it has on our emotions. Living in Cornwall for many years, my work is inspired by the textures and colours of its rugged coastline and landscape. Its geology and history. Cornwall is steeped in magic and myth. I believe in its magic, the intrinsic wonder and beauty of the natural world. With all of its cycles of life and death and transformation. The energy it raises and transmutes, forever changing. To me abstract art can represent this perfectly. It is alchemy for the soul and often healing for the mind.
