VSW24 Painting: Art ProjectOur shoreline is subject to remorseless weathering and erosion, and continuously recycles through natural processes of erosion, removal and deposition. Science refers to the water cycle, the rock cycle and biogeochemical cycles to trace the Law of Conservation of Matter at work. I have studied the shoreline at my home beach, Fishermen’s End, searching for evidence of changes in the rocks. My aim has been to interrogate the assumption that the ground we stand on is solid and unchangeable. I have attempted to represent this ‘natural recycling’ through mixed media selected for their potential to reference the mutability of the land and the water as well as the physical materials of which they are composed. My aim was to integrate a visual vocabulary consisting of lines, curves, cavities, deposits and textures with encaustic and pen and wash, two media which are both moveable and removeable. I also integrated natural materials – rock and pigment – collected at Fishermen’s End.
