Epiphany

The blue, brown or black lines and partly obliterated shapes are a response to many things. For example, the shape of a field, the ghost marks of old trackways, enclosures, the reworking of land and so on. There is also the architectural space of an Anglo Saxon chapel - all at once small, grand and intimate. The imagined spaces evoked by music, poetry or a psalm can also be a starting point for a sequence of work. My fascination is with line and space within a square.
