Provenance The paintings investigate the idea of landscape as story telling creations. Afiction using colours and images in the place of words, telling a 'tall story' which is not actually a truth. What you see - may not be what it is? What is - may not be what you will see? The monofocal view of the audience typifies this very idea.
