One of paintings that deal with images found close to the seashore, for example, groups of stones that have been washed over by the tide combined with objects found in these places, seaweed, shells etc. The other is paintings of images of the coastal path, looking away from the sea, inland towards the overgrown landscape and concentrating on the local flora and fauna. Although these two different locations are relatively close the experience of the place is strikingly different.

21 JunePORRITT ON POPULATION - WHY POPULATION MATTERS SO MUCHThe multiple problems besetting the planet are likely to worsen as the 21st century moves forward. Climate Change, growing water shortage, desertification, rapid destruction of the ecosystem, energy depletion and food scarcity all have potentially profound impacts on humanity and the environment. Though varied, these challenges have a common thread: they are made worse by the ever growing numbers of humans. Should we address this basic challenge? Jonathon Porritt, patron of Population Matters, thinks we should. Do you agree?
