Ham Hill - Greens

This painting is inspired by the undulating contours of Ham Hill in Somerset, a place rich in natural beauty and history.  Using bold, flowing lines and layered organic shapes, the composition echoes the topographical patterns found in maps, capturing the rise and fall of the land.  The deep greens, earthy tones, and shimmering metallics reflect the textures of the landscape, from woodland and grassland to the golden hues of Ham Hill’s distinctive hamstone.

The painting merges abstraction with cartography, inviting the viewer to explore the landscape through a new lens - one that emphasizes movement, form, and connection.  By distilling the geography into a series of fluid, interlocking shapes, the piece conveys both the structure and the organic essence of the land.

The artwork measures 45 x 55cm and was completed in 2024.
