Gaia - A Series of Quiet, Moody Abstract Paintings
in Response to the Changing Climate
The Gaia series of acrylic paintings, made in 2019, are an abstract painterly response to the profound beauty of the Earth and the devastation that is being wrought upon it by the climate crisis. Quiet, colourfield contemplations and urban-inspired mark-making reflect human traces in the landscape.
“Colour is uncontainable. It effortlessly reveals the limits of language and evades our best attempts to impose a rational order on it... To work with colour is to become acutely aware of the insufficiency of language and theory – which is both disturbing and pleasurable.”
— David Batchelor, ‘Chromophobia’
