My abstract artwork in the 60/60 Exhibition was Beige Strata. Part of a series exploring abstract geological strata. Using the paints’ texture to build up graduated layers of natural colours from the earth in movement, from the underlying red base to brown ground to beige variations above. Thinking about layers of skin and of derma colours.

The colours interweave in a combination of earthy strata towards the lighter tones of sun and air. Though compact in composition, the grooved formations give the painting a natural flow and depth, which emerge across the surface of the painting.
