'Horizon' series

This is the first in the ‘Horizon’ series, the first fully resolved work

As you see just marks on a page, then a horizon grows a recognisable form that resonates. This work looks at ‘Modernism’ for its main influences, looking Sandra Blow, her work ‘Three Square’ helped form the ideas surrounding the use of boarders. After being involved with an exhibition at Minster Fine Art (www.minsterfineart.co.uk) showing Sandra Blow and David Hockney the importance of a simple clear image struck me. As well as the quality of the marks and the impact of seeing them framed to show the rough edges of the paper.
