During an artist residency in Arenys de Munt (Spain) I became interested in the issue of scale and proportion, particularly in terms of man-made structures and the environment. Each evening I would walk in the hills or through the village to the sea. Although my daily outlook from the studio included fields and hills, the village itself was full of monolithic apartment blocks that towered over the older buildings, once supporting a different community life, closer to the land. I have always been drawn to expressive mark-making and curious about the effect of well designed spaces. So the combined effect of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s beautiful ‘German Pavilion’ and the work of Antoni Tàpies in the Fundació Antoni Tàpies (both in Barcelona) underpinned my response to this place. Portal, 2017 considers the effect of man-made structures (both physical and idealogical) on our relationship with the environment. While the title implies a doorway to another space, the structure is such that our movement through is disrupted, forcing us to consider our intentions and, perhaps, the impact of our decisions.
