About "Mountain Flow"

I was inspired to paint this piece after reading 'Touching the Void', a book by Joe Simpson which follows his epic adventure to reach the summit of the remote Siula Grande mountain in the Peruvian Andes. In awe of the scale of Joe's achievements, I captured the dramatic peaks and troughs of Siula Grande. Using a palette knife, I scraped paint across the canvas board, emulating the rugged texture of the extreme mountain edges.
