CONTAINED

Contained is a continuation of my work exploring our relationship with the natural world, as modern humans. 

The impasto paintings draw inspiration from a single environment, which is uniquely interpreted within each piece of work.

These expansive landscapes are confined within the boundaries of a vessel - a form commonly used to present nature in curated, decorative and ephemeral  way. 

The series invites viewers to consider the duality (or tension) in our connection to the natural world: an object of admiration and a living entity requiring our protection.
