Sprawling abstract images of landscape emerge as if being woven into a blanket. They capture ethnicity of place by relating to the Welsh textile. The mark-making is one of an expressionist trying to liberate a primordial aesthetic. Primarily the work is about language. People feel excluded because they do not speak the same language. Being able to speak the same language as someone is a powerful part of ones identity enabling us to fully engage with individuals on a basic amiable level as well as with whole communities on a survival level. Frustrations and tensions in the mark making, expressing feelings of not being understood or not understanding others including loved ones, enable the Blankscape images to have a universal meaning across boundaries of cultures and personal experiences.
