These paintings are based on the isolation and power of the coastal landscape. Throughout the lockdown period, I have spent a lot of time in this space, taking in the contours and shapes of the headland. Magic point as it is known to locals, carries with it a history steeped in colonial exploration, war and defence. Yet it is also a place of beauty, with jagged cliffs, dropping down into an endless expanse of ocean. It is within this dual landscape that I wanted to create a moment of quiet contemplation and meditation within the painting, reminiscent of that felt whilst painting in the landscape.
