Mountains and Skies explores the meeting of open space and accumulated matter.
Built on raw, unprimed cotton, the work allows pigment, water, gesso, modelling paste and natural sediments to interact directly with the fibres of the support. Absorption becomes part of the composition: some areas retain material density while others allow colour to move, stain and recede.
The relationship between mountain and sky is not treated as landscape representation. Instead, both operate as different material conditions — weight and openness, accumulation and distance, resistance and atmosphere.
Blue shifts between these conditions. It moves from concentrated mineral areas into quieter, more dispersed fields, changing according to absorption, surface density and light.
The painting does not copy territory; it learns from it. Geological processes — sedimentation, erosion, exposure and accumulation — are translated into the physical construction of the surface.
At 210 × 195 cm, Mountains and Skies operates at architectural scale, allowing the viewer to experience the work through both distance and proximity.
PHOTOGRAPHY & COLOUR ACCURACY
The photograph shows deep mineral blues, brighter turquoise passages and dark, layered areas across the lower surface. The raised texture and vertical marks are part of the work’s physical presence and may appear differently under changing light and viewing conditions.
The blues in Mountains and Skies shift with light, surface relief and viewing distance.
