Five Seasons
If we had five seasons what would the fifth one be? This series of charismatic landscapes explores solitude. Is anyone home? The symbolic small white cottage depicts arrival, departure or passing through. Is solitude to be cherised or feared, in itself isolation or like the seasons, ever changing but out of control.
Five Seasons is a series of images created through mixed media celebrating the diversity of light, colour and nature as the paths of time move and develop to interpret variations of seasonal change.
The work suggests a formalised theme but each separate piece has its own identity and story to be told. Subtleties of colour, depth and texture create links between the works whilst allowing each picture to encapsulate individuality. This form can be discovered if you stand in one place, enjoying the same view, but take in the different light patterns as the space in front of you changes, and develops to offer a new canvas.
A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight.
Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.
