Louise Cattrell

The dichotomy between experience and imagination has been important in the development of my work.

By direct connection and knowledge of the landscape the work reacts to the spectacular changes within the timescale of day, season and year. Part of that experience is the importance of physical scale from the limitless infinity of the sky to the enclosure of forest and wood; the eye moving from the panoramic to that of close scrutiny. This has particular resonance where the borders of sky, land and river converge and depart.

Living and working in new and known places has formed the context for paintings in oil and watercolour, drawings and prints
