Land art
Early Work

Here are a few images of Land art pieces I completed on various residencies.

This is my work, on a project that I set up working (as a mentor) with BA Students from both the University of East London and Middlesex University.
The locations are Welsh Harp Nature reserve and Epping Forrest.

I used photoshop and Paint shop pro, to create this image.

"When I began painting I found it necessary to produce independant images that were informed by memories of specific places, mostly in the countryside of Northern Ireland where there are lots of relatively untouched areas of wilderness... Since relocating to London I found it nessecary to gain new experiences of the local landscape and particularly the 'neglected' & the preserved areas of the city." P.J. Cairns.
