This series of works is a reflection of a childhood journey from the urban to the wilderness. Conceptually, this has metamorphosed into the artist's wilderness.
Brockley is the muse.
The Landscapes for the Common People portray “specimens” that I collect with my camera on safari in Brockley. With vectors and pixels, I pay homage to the elements and transform my trees, bushes and branches into flat shapes of muted colour. The combined flatness becomes a groundless setting where I can "root" a three-dimensional element; a plant form gathered from the worlds of print, the web and imagination. It sits in the foreground... a stranger in a strange land.
