There's a cove on the Cornish coast I return to again and again. Its granite cliff face looks like a single wall from a distance, but stand close and you see it is a patchwork: fractured into blocks, each one weathered differently, each with its own colour and grain.
Cliff Wall Contours grew out of that noticing. I let the natural fault lines of the rock divide the canvas into sections, then gave each section its own surface, using my own hand-printed papers to echo the shifts in texture from one block of granite to the next. Deep teals and sea blues sit against chalky whites and slate greys, held together by the dark seams that run through the whole face.
It's a large, immersive piece, built up in layers of paper and paint so the surface has real depth. Up close it rewards slow looking; from across a room it settles into something calm and grounded, a quiet reminder of standing at the edge of the land with the sea behind you.
Ready to hang.

For original paintings: painted on canvas or board using acrylic, resin or mixed media. Hang away from direct sunlight and damp. Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not clean with water or solvents. For canvas prints: printed on a poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish, scratch, crack and warp resistant. Wipe gently with a barely damp cloth if needed. For paper prints: printed on premium fine art paper. Handle with care — avoid moisture and direct sunlight to preserve colours.
