An image born of cycling past pine trees in west Brittany in the evening. These coastal pine trees – their Atlantic weathered forms and dark roofs agains the luminous western sky, move me more and more as the years go by. One doesn’t simply pass them by, they speak and sing and it would feel neglectful and coarse not to listen.
As we gradually climb out of winter, the blackbirds are still feasting on the hawthorn and crab apples outside the studio. With their extraordinary clear-eyed gaze, territorial squabbles, panicky evening calls and sharp outline they are, for me, a perennial subject and constant source of wonder and distraction.
