Grounded (Series)
DESCRIPTION
As an adult living in a major metropolitan city it’s a rare treat for me to escape the incessant hum of white noise and endless concrete. Recently, I found myself in a very dark space but there was an organic place that I could retreat to as a antidote. “Grounded” explores the impulse to escape both physically and mentally from the deafening confines of the city. We all seem drawn to a seashore, the crest of a tall hill, or even the sky, dangerously out of reach. The figures in these compositions represent less the individuals in the pictures but an unexplained attraction to the edges of our environment. When I’m in these places, a sense of my own small role within the environment could easily elicit a sense of fear and unease, yet, inexplicably I find a peace not often found in the places over which I control.
