'Seeds of Reflection' speaks to something I've come to understand through the making of the paintings in the Threshold Series - that the physical process of layering, cutting, printing, and painting a landscape over time, becomes its own quiet path into reflection.

Burnt orange, blue and purple echo the colours I see in the Australian landscape, while the field barns anchor the visual story firmly in the Yorkshire Dales; the two places sitting together within the composition. Banksia leaves from my garden are visible in the gelli-printed foreground, alongside modified elements of the mangrove motif from shores of Lake Weyba. Eucalypts from the bush frame the scene, with raindrops falling through the branches, as they do throughout this series, marking the passage between one place and another.

These motifs are the seeds of the painting and when seeds are planted you never really know what they will grow into. It's often only in the finished piece that I can see what I was really reflecting on all along, and in this piece those reflections centre on the stillness I find in the landscape.

Part of the Threshold Series - a body of work exploring the dual landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales and the Sunshine Coast, and what it means to be shaped by both. Read more about the series in the blog.
