ASH Edition (2026)

Fire is one of the oldest forces on Earth. It destroys, but it also renews. Some landscapes have evolved with it.

But increasingly, fire is becoming something we struggle to control.

Land clearance, exploitation, poor stewardship and a changing climate are altering landscapes on a scale that is difficult to ignore. Sometimes fire is natural. Sometimes we start it. Either way, the consequences remain in the land.

ASH grew from my fascination with what comes afterwards. The scars. The fragments. The altered landscape. The strange beauty that can exist in something damaged.

I’m not trying to paint environmental destruction literally. I’m more interested in the tension between natural forces and the footprint we leave behind.

Each painting is a fragment of that story. Something existed here. Something happened. Something was lost. And perhaps, eventually, something grows back.

ASH is about fire, but really it’s about what we leave behind.
