VIEWS OF LONDON IN THE RAIN - 2023/4
My work can be perceived by the viewer as images of our world altered through the climate changes we are living through.
Viewed through windows and driving rain, I attempt to render known historic landmarks, unchanged for generations, into colourless disintegrating forms, landmarks, perhaps only recognisable with the help of the viewers memory.
I see a juxtaposition between Claude Monet’s landmarks disintegrating through a celebration of light and colour to the same landmarks in my own work disintegrating through monotone catastrophe.
The relationship between creation and perception can alter from artist to viewer, the viewers perception is influenced by their own beliefs and surroundings. My work, like climate change, can be perceived as just another rainy day.
