Contour Lines

'Contour Lines' explores the delicate boundary between map and terrain, where earth pigments trace the landscape's memory, and sun bleached land meets inky depths, creating a topographical poetry of place. 

This is an original painting - hand made local earth pigment paint and cyanotype on ply board.

The natural materials for the paint have been gathered from the north Cornwall area, processed by hand and left in a fairly coarse state to add texture.

Paintings containing these natural materials literally have the land that inspired them in the artwork, bringing a real sense of the landscape into the work. They inform the choice of colour palette to ensure an authentic feel and connection to the subject.

The painting is 20cm by 20cm and is supplied in an off-white float frame with fixings for wall hanging.
