Atlantic coasts of Iceland and England

2022

These paintings were produced after a three month period of time painting along the Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England and around the Atlantic coast of Iceland from March to May 2022.

A film, below, documents the journeying with the paintings along the Atlantic coasts of England and Iceland. Shot entirely by myself, the film explores ongoing enquiries and pursuits of following and pursuing the sublime, the journeying from place to place, time through space, space through experience and essentially the lived and spiritual experience of looking for, finding, revealing and working out each paintings along the shores of the cosmos and frontiers of the known and unknown, the visible and the metaphysical, the here and the gone, the there and the passing.
