These Cameo paintings are a part of the larger series The Wide Horizon . They explore more tellingly the relationship between the material properties of the support - its shape, texture and substance - and the paint on its surface. As objects, the paintings are pieces of split and sawn timber, gathered from the environment, and offering eccentric supports that both carry and embody images of ideas of landscape.
The interpretation of the paintings is ambivalent, inviting, even requiring, the viewer's memory or imagination in the process of making sense as images. They clearly make an issue out of the play between the fictional space (light, distance, things ) apparently visible in the paintings and the real, unmistakable presence of the substantive paint and the three- dimensionality of the wood.
