My practice investigates landscape as embodied encounter. Working primarily from mountain environments, I develop paintings governed by a single dominant atmospheric force – compression, fracture or release – through which space and scale are organised.

Rather than depicting place descriptively, the work concentrates on structural hierarchy and imbalance. Areas are deliberately sacrificed so that others intensify. Light remains conditional and transient; land holds enduring weight. Each painting is resolved only when no addition strengthens it and no removal clarifies it.

The resulting images occupy a space between abstraction and geography. They do not aim to represent landscape as a view, but to translate the heightened, involuntary awareness that arises when the body stands within weather – alert, exposed and momentarily insignificant.
