This new work is a radical departure for me, I don’t know how it will develop and when/if I will return to the big textured seascapes I am known for! But the artistic enquiry and development cannot and should not be denied I think. I used to do a lot of stitch drawings when I was at art school and it feels really interesting to be returning. This series of drawings is about the emotional residue left behind after previously working landscapes (farming and mining on Dartmoor) have ceased.
