Welsh Stone

This artwork presents a close-up view of a lichen-covered rock, native to the rugged upland environments of Wales, such as the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia. The textured surface reveals the intricate natural weathering of sedimentary or metamorphic stone, speckled with patches of white and yellow lichens that speak of the air's purity. Nestled within a fissure is a vibrant green moss, symbolising the early stages of biological colonisation in a cool, moist climate. The composition anchors the ancient earth tones with bold geometric accents in olive green and ochre, drawing a contemporary dialogue between nature's timeless processes and modern abstract forms.
