Hinterland
A definition for ‘hinterland’ is an area lying beyond what is visible or known. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, there are many shadows, and we live quite far north. Shadows are ‘firmer’ further south on the globe where sunlight is more plentiful. My work depicts a ‘hinterland of shadows’, hinterland being defined as the area lying beyond what is visible or known. My paintings function according to their own internal logic which overrides any ideas of memory or autobiography being imposed on it.
