These little gouache colour studies are developed from a sailing trip Mary took off the coast of Wells-next-the-sea where she sketched the high-tide in graphite pencil. The colours have been recalled from her visual memory adding in complexity.
Her evocative paintings invite a deeper look reflecting upon the impermanence of life. She paints bright light and dark shadow, colour and its interaction flinting up against each other. She is drawn to the delicate, the broken, and the most fleeting echoing TS Eliot's Four Quartets, delving into themes of time, purpose, frailty and meaning. Her work viscerally highlights sea-level rise.
Guache on Fabriano paper with a natural handmade edge.
