Outside the studio.

The landscape around the studio is a constant source of reference.

The coast, bush, weather and changing light are part of everyday life here. Sometimes the influence is direct — a surface, a colour, a proportion or a material. At other times it is simply something noticed.

These observations become part of the work.

Coastal dune grasses moving across the sand

Golden light across the coast and distant headland

Fallen palm frond and footprints on wet coastal sand

Today, near the studio.

A changing record of the landscape around SYML — weather, light, sea, bush and things noticed along the way.
