My interest lies with situations experienced within an environment, rather than views of a landscape. The traditional landscape painting of a fixed perspective, an image like a photographic representation, holds no real interest for me. To me ‘landscape’ is something to be explored, walked around, driven through, splashed in, peered over, balanced on, smelt, seen, heard. The need for traditional representative views soon become unnecessary as you realise that you can’t, for example, see a horizon line when lying down on a cliff top, staring at the sea hundreds of feet below. Likewise, how would you paint the echoes made when shouting into a cave?
