'The Land I Carry' speaks to the profound experience of belonging to two places at once - not divided between them, but genuinely enriched by both. This painting holds that which accumulates within a person who has loved two landscapes deeply and brought reflections of one into the life lived in the other. To carry the land is to hold both places inside yourself - to know instinctively the feel of each and how to describe experiences of them in paint. Finding these sentiments surfacing in the work unbidden is to understand that place is not only where we stand today, but everywhere we have ever stood and felt truly present. The Land I Carry is that knowledge, painted.
 
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.
