Caught in a paradox, the intense energy of this charcoal sketch feels both chaotic and serene. The dense, overlapping lines create a forest-like scene, where the stark contrast between darkness and light presents a world teetering on the edge of a storm. This encapsulates the eternal tension of nature's raw elements, paralleling broader themes in art history. The texture, palpable and rough, lays bare the artist's fervent strokes, tying the wildness of untamed landscapes to human emotions. As viewers immerse in this drawing, it has the potential to inspire fresh perspectives on the relationship between nature and inner turmoil. What thoughts might this stir in your imagination?

The reed bed at Sharpham marsh on the banks of the river Dart are mesmerising and always so very giving.  The Greek mythological story of the Syrinx sprung to mind. These reed beds are a huge form of carbon capture and it is vital that these forms of carbon storage are preserved, for wildlife and humanity.

The Saltmarsh Project

My involvement and input on part of this wonderful project was to have some details from my charcoal drawing Syrinx, used in the film made by Emilio Mula. I am particularly proud to have been involved and hope to contribute more. The urgency to tackle climate change and protect natural resources that may help us to do this are absolutely fundamental.
