Angkor Watt, Siem Reap, Cambodia
These visual travelogues combine my love of travel, exploration, drawing and observation.
Each conveys a sense of place via scenery, urbanscapes, impressions, details, textures, colours, motifs, pattern and other more abstract elements. The very-mixed-media approach uses collage, watercolour, pen and ink, gouache, pastel, stencil, hand made papers and found elements.
Each book concertinas to form a narrative of my experience of a place. They are not necessarily chronological, but I encourage each study to borrow from the previous and link into the next, to create a feeling of flow, like the passage of time.
I create these works in the field, largely through a process of curious wandering (complete with portable, mini-studio).
Sections from various travelogues are shown below.
