Lymington Keyhaven

My works are inspired from walking and sitting out in the landscape, stilling the mind and closing my eyes to see images of light or dreams in my minds eye. I recently discovered the word Útiseta, associated with an ancient Nordic practice of divining knowledge, which describes this combination of sitting, seeing and place. I am contemplative when I work; a quiet mind guides a meditative path through a creative process.

My works are in a range of different art media: drawing, painting, printing and sculpture. I particularly enjoy making art medals, which capture large ideas in small hand-held sculptures.

The Observatory offers a new environment for me to create work, on the horizon between sea and sky, open to the elements and in a public place. This is a very exposed location. It will be a new experience for me to be inside looking out while others look in.
