This artwork could also be called "The Weight of Urbanisation". It is my visual representation of the relentless spread of urban development in once-natural rural environments. Abstract shapes of rust, charcoal and white rise across the canvas like clustered dwellings pressing into space and crowding out the organic. A small, green space highlights the minimal presence of nature within built environments. Through personal experience this piece speaks to the subtle grief of encroachment and the emotional complexity of watching familiar places change while still understanding the need for development. I just wish it could occur in a more sensitive and sustainable fashion.

This artwork is unframed however the painting continues over the sides so framing is not required. Images showing framing are indicative only. A quote for framing can be provided on request.
