Delighted to have been selected to support a local gallery exhibiting at the Atelier Brighton 25th OPEN this year. Brighton is on my local coast where I go to stare at the horizon and reconnect to the sea when I can’t get to the remote empty Scottish and Norwegian coastlines that inspires much of my work.
Atelier beside the Sea is situated in the arches on the beach just east of the Shelter Hall at the bottom of West Street, a thriving area of cafes and seaside activities between Brighton Pier & West Pier - the Brighton North & South Lanes are nearby bustling with independent shops and cafes & the station a short walk.
Monotype print and painted using blue pigment containing cobalt, ochre and umber earth pigments blended in homemade soy milk binder. Hand stitch. Made in response to an Arctic Spring residency in the Norwegian Lofoten Islands, 24 hour daylight, capturing the fading golden hour light reflected on the eastern horizon.
