“What I Thought I Saw” Embodies a series of abstract landscape paintings that have their genesis as depictions of real locations – which after the initial base-painting, are transformed by artistic whim – by emotive alteration of topography, forms and colours – to show a more idealised impression of places that are as much imaginary as they are factual.
They invoke a consideration of painterly elements – that might be variously interpreted as vegetation, hillside, shadowed forms or open ground – that are as equally dependent on the viewer’s own preferences and memories as they are on the manner of artistic representation.
