London Plane

London Plane Tree

Soft Ground Etching on Hahnemulle paper
18 x 28cm
Edition of 30

Review

"The artist observes and records beauty in the least likely of places, such as the oily grey mud and waters of a London river where a frond of seaweed drifts by and occasional vivid colours of a passing blue buoy or a red balloon. Industrial shapes of cranes and gas works emerging from fogs of silvers, golds and greys. He includes a passing helicopter, seagulls chatter and a plane as soundtrack for his gentle observation. In his etchings the contrasts are dramatic in a different way, the mountains and cliffs of Ireland stand against the tactile softness of wet sand and seaweed or the luminosity of sea and sky. In Dreamfields he has used double exposure on film to create ghostly landscape images. I get the impression of an artist who is sharply observant, but find no hint of criticism in what he observes, only a patient watchfulness. His work can be hypnotically serene." JUDY RUSSELL - POET

2nd state proofs of new etchings…

Continuing the Wanted:Dead&Alive series of softground etchings. The truncated trees that populate Greenwich park are often overlooked but their skeletal and sculptural forms have been made by human intervention as well as entropic decay. They exist in a kind of purgatory waiting for the final axe (or chainsaw) but while they hold themselves high transcendence is assured.

Two delicate wax drawings. These are a byproduct of my printmaking practice but am beginning to think they have their own aesthetic quality. Handle with care!

Twisting tree, this young oak has suffered some trauma and it heartwood has hollowed as if it were an ancient with ‘galls’ forming in its minimalist branches. It’s growth in this tortured pose will continue as otherwise it is healthy and full of character.

Lackendarragh, Glencree
Pencil on paper, A3

Lackendarragh stream flows through the picturesque valley of Glencree, Co. Wicklow, a world of tree, moss, stone, bracken. Populated by sheep, roe deer, midges. The tinkling sound of brook muffled under summer growth, which broken boughs of truncated oaks straddle. A Romanticised Ireland, captured over a century ago by the recently rediscovered Irish composer Ina Boyle. A more contemporary Glencree piece accompanied my drawing.

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up continues from A5 s

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up continues from A5 sketch to A3 drawing. It’s a slow process as more detail required and decisions made. Photographs taken on site help with tonal references and missing information. The buzzard will have to wait.

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up a sketch of a peace

Wip - New Drawing - Scaling up a sketch of a peaceful valley scene made in the summer. Midges meant I had to work quickly but now in the studio I can take my time. Debating whether to include the young buzzard that flared upstream, far to quick to draw.
