The Hare's Corner Series 2010
The paintings in The Hare’s Corner Series explore a preoccupation with the hidden inner world of the wood. It's significance as a narrative setting illuminates our deeply held connection to the woods both physically and metaphorically.
The 'hare’s corner' itself refers to an old Irish tradition of leaving a corner of the field uncut for the hare to escape to. In allowing the wild hare refuge, the hare’s corner represents a metaphorical escape into the imagination.
