Innerscapes of the Mind's Eye
Innerscapes are the landscapes of the mind's eye. They are inner worlds conjured by sensory experience and life's magic moments.

Stupa Doodle

Digital drawing
6 Elements:
Earth, water, fire, air, space consciousness
Meditating on the stupa and the six elements creates spaciousness and depth in the mind. This space is as vast as our imagination. The digital stupa doodle explores whether it is possible to evoke this deep space on a screen using light and pixels.
Wingsail Voyager
2002 
Collage, handmade marbled paper,
ink and wash
38cm x 38cm
Wingsail Voyager is a Crescent Moon boat with sails of wing feathers, inspired by Gautier's poem L'Ile Inconnue read at the funeral of a friend.
...The sail unfurls its wing,
The breeze begins to blow!
The oar's made of ivory,
The flag of silk moire,
A golden helm most fine,
For ballast I have oranges,
For sails, the wings of angels....

Gouache sketch on paper

There is nothing as luscious as freshly picked summer strawberries bought at a Devon roadside. Here is a work to capture the tangy flavour, using colour and leaf prints to make landscape forms.
