Corgarff Greens

Corgarff Castle, Aberdeenshire

This painting is built around a dominant green register that anchors the composition in landscape rather than architecture. Corgarff Castle emerges not as a fixed monument but as a remembered presence, held within layered fields of colour, pattern, and texture. Collaged fragments and painterly marks accumulate horizontally, suggesting fields, enclosure, and time passing.

The surface remains deliberately unstable: blocks of opaque paint sit alongside translucent passages, allowing earlier decisions to remain visible. The castle is less a subject than a point of orientation — a quiet constant within a shifting emotional terrain.
