ARTIST'S DESCRIPTION:
The northern and southern ends of Iona could hardly be more different. The flatter northern end, if the island is imagined as a boat, resembles a foredeck of machair grasses, edged at its prow by a crest of white sand and scattered rocks—some tumbled smooth, others cracked open or slowly worn away by millennia of the sea’s action.
These paintings undergo a comparable process. Their surfaces are ground, rubbed, torn and sanded, echoing the physical forces that shape the shoreline and the long tradition of artists drawn to paint these beaches and the distant outlines on the horizon.
