This series of work that relates to concepts ‘Where the Sea meets the Sand’ and explores underlying underling suspension, structure and fluid forms. Like a tide, undercurrents, formal constructs and rhythmical lines dissolve and change from positive to negative space. These abstract works seek to capture a sense of openness and infinity. Forms are architectonic, but informal accidents and textures are found with line, and Tachist approaches. This exhibition has a limited blue colour range with pockets of yellow, black, white and ochre. Some work has warm pockets of colour that contrasts against the cool and white passages and are associated with feelings that relate to submerging, flesh and the impact of the ocean on the body. This body of work seeks to capture rhythms that are evoked from the sea - from sea spray, to a sense of floating. There is reference to breath, stillness, grace and structural strength.
There is also reference to my father Huw Halse's architectural plans and architectonic structures such as scaffolds, light colour ranges, organic textures and his Welsh heritage.
This body of work also relates to the Australian coastline, tides or currents.
