Misty Mountains



Imaginary landscapes seen within the cracks and stains in old plaster walls were of interest to Leonardo da Vinci and I think he would have enjoyed these misty mountain ridges. They are not wholly typical of Shivering Sands however, where more abstract rectilinear patterns from bolted steel seams and hardboard cladding present effects of surface texture and pattern that create an endless family of more abstract compositions in my own minds eye.
