Dot Searle    Artist

 

 

The Cornish landscape is a constant source of  inspiration; not just its wonderful coastline, but because of its scarred, mined, interior – and the docks that have provided work for  generations.  Ignoring (if one can) the awful assault of development, but grasping at a historical harmony of man, work, and a life moulded by the sea. Walls and structures, textures and spaces, elements of the passage of time - from the hidden to the revealed. I create 2D and 3D images that evolve in layers, sometimes diffused through   the use of muslin/collage…whatever is relevant. Sometimes the original will break through  (like paintwork on old boats) that which lies beneath the surface being of equal significance to that which is more immediately  visible.
