Before the Spring series

“The winter landscapes of Before the Spring masterfully capitalize on the cool, opaque quality of the stone-based TerraSkin they are painted on. The stillness of the images demands our attention to form. The utter surprise of the colour that sporadically coats, saturates, spatters, drifts, and then streaks across the surface of these landscapes, captures lengthened shadows, rhythmic lines of denuded trees and the insistent rarity of crumpled leaves caught in premature falls of winter snow.”
