Seascape as a presence

​

I paint seascapes by working into wet paint with a scratching technique. The marks follow the underlying movement and rhythm of the sea.  What I aim to convey is a sense of continuity between the observer and the world. I avoid the conventional position of a spectator looking at an object. Instead, I try to draw the viewer into the movement of the sea, so that the boundary between observer and observed begins to soften.
