“This new series of works, painted in late spring, draws on both the soft palette of the landscape surrounding St Ives, alongside the warmer, richer hues found within compositions in the studio. Days spent at the beach hut on Porthgwidden, documenting the shift between the seasons and longer, lighter days, form the basis of the series. The bright greens of The Island are paired with the vivid blues and soft whites of Porthmeor. Created on both board and linen, these paintings have a sense of immediacy to them and capture the rawness of Penwith and the delicate changes in colour that move through the landscape. Alongside the landscape, my studio interior has become subject matter for a new series of paintings, initially informed by time spent at Porthmeor Studios last summer. With a direct view of Porthmeor from my studio window, this time allowed for the exploration of layers of internal space before the vista of the external landscape. Jugs of seasonal blooms, bowls of lemons, handbuilt vessels, and previous paintings leant on surfaces, created a language of colour and shape with a feeling of the elemental space beyond. These two elements, ‘St Ives’ and ‘The Studio’, form my latest collection for the New Craftsman”.
