Artist’s Statement.<\/p>\n
The Balby Carr area of Doncaster is a typical ‘edge’ land, an unkempt area
\nreclaimed by nature from the industrial past and now infused with an air of
\nabandonment. It is one of those places where you can find a supermarket
\ntrolley next to an empty five metre cable drum. There is not much that is
\npretty here. It is also where I regularly walk my dogs.
\nThe paintings begin with the memory of these walks and dictate their own
\noutcomes in much the same manner as nature determines the character of
\nthis particular landscape. The landscape cannot escape being beautiful
\nregardless of the abuse, just as the painting will arise despite the
\ndegradations of my repeated attempts to define it.
