Bio
I am a geographer and artist based in Oxford.
These three connected landscape studies represent the 'urban rhythms' of my regular lockdown walks in the summer of 2020. The first painting is of a path I have tread many times, in my preferred medium of acrylic paint. The next two present increasingly unfamiliar routes which I sought out at the outskirts of the edges of my home city, Oxford. As the relentlessly repetitive days of lockdown wore on, I pushed the boundaries of my usual routes further and further in search of some kind of novelty, unfamiliarity and stimulation.
This was mirrored by the urge I felt to branch out from my usual painting methods and styles - the second painting is in watercolour and ink, while the third, my newest route, was created in an agitated jumble of media - acrylic paint, graphite pencil, gel and ballpoint pens, and markers.
