These paintings of the land are less about accurately reproducing it and more about putting it's elements together in a way that has some meaning that can convince. It is about using the landscape as a tool for the real aim, which is that of making a painting that make sense. Once a painting makes sense it refers back to its origins but in a way that it new. It is given a new identity. Like an actor, their face may be familiar but their lines differ when they play different characters.
Trying to find a convincing language within a painting, and often combining more than one, stretches what is possible and pushes me into new realms, in a search for new solutions. I love this sort of exploration. - Simon Andrew
