About MeThis painting demonstrates a clear link to both environment and industry, and how technology impacts on the natural world. There is also an ethereal quality to the work, highlighting the unreality of the scene by placing it inside a glass vessel. This imagined landscape speaks of nature’s triumph over humans and demonstrates hope in the environment that it can bounce back and survive human despoilation.
