“The Road To The Starlit Sea” is a 30″ x 30″ acrylic painting where I have used some found fishing twine which I have embedded in texture paste prior to painting. I enjoy including found objects in my paintings as I find they give an organic presence, surprising twists and turns and naturally flowing lines and elements which otherwise would not exist. It also gives a new life to debris and discarded items, which would otherwise be pollutants.
My work is about connectivity across distance, symbolized here by the road reaching to the sea, the vast expanse, the stars symbolizing hope, optimism and brightness ahead.
