“ I have recently started walking in the mountains above my home in Snowdonia. Apart from maintaining my sanity it helps to retain a sense of perspective in both my life and my art. I have a strong sense of the earth energies that exist in this most ancient of landscapes. A sense of the power the landscape has over man and exactly how small we are in the face of it. These walks, which at times can be both exhilarating and fear inducing, expose me to a myriad of elements from horizontal shards of rain, to ground hugging mists , deep drifts of the purest white snow and the balmy hot rays of a midsummer sun. I can be left exposed overlooking a sheer scree slope, or knee deep in sodden boggy ground, listening to the cries of thermal riding ravens or sheltering in the ruins of some long abandoned quarry houses All of these factors feed into my work which I hope maintain a sense of living on the edge whilst tuning in to the cycle that is life”
