Human Imprint : obsolete structures

This work is part of a series using utilitarian structures in a coastal setting that I have worked upon over the past 15 years exploring the following ideas and formal issues:
- The eroding and unifying effects of natural forces upon these structures. The idea of the coastline as a marginal zone where elements collide and the fluid erodes the solid.
- The use of diagonals and exaggerated spatial recession contribute to the sense of transience and instability.
- To convey a dimension of present and future by describing ongoing processes rather than just copying surface appearances with no understanding.
- To explore the interaction of the physical nature of paint as embodied in the use of gesture with the illusionistic devices used to create an image
- In this work I was particularly interested in the relationship between the triangular forms of roof, island & mountains. I also found the grid-like structure of niches at the end of the building fascinating & will be exploring this further in future.
- The structures I have used in these paintings are neither grand or significant (often their original function is obscure) thus they provide fertile sites for new imaginings & interpretations.
