Early research & inspiration
Reading
Three books helped me get the right feeling for this work:
Shackleton's South, Homer's Odyssey and Charlie Connelly's
Attention All Shipping (a trip around the UK Shipping Forecast). Imagery
I wanted to carry on what I had learned from my own
paintings, as well as drawing on the monumental,
weathered and mesmeric qualities of Elisabeth Frink,
The Lewis Chessmen, Kathe Kollwitz
and Byzantine Icon painting.
