As a geographer, I have long been fascinated by maps - which led to the concept of Looking Down for painting.  As a result, I have used both as inspirations for different kinds of paintings.  Maps are always of places I know well as I have little interest in seeking out maps of places I cannot visualise! Other Looking Down paintings are of interest because of the geometric abstractions or perspective they present.

The possibilities of this approach is endless.  I like the idea of them in the context of PsychoGeography -which I have been exploring – walking the streets, visiting local pubs and shops, going over a bridge, reminating and pondering on the landscape or citiscape as I walk.  Looking UP  has also its possibilities -  see the painting in the Natural History Museum in Oxford!!
