DAVINA BARBER
“Drifting Contours: A study in tidal landscape and light is my first show with Eleanor Dorrien-Smith. Better known for painting the South West and the Isles of Scilly, I managed to lure Eleanor to the East and persuade her to stay here in North Norfolk for a week's residency last August.
It was a balmy week. The light was typically muted, but the mornings were clear and fresh. We walked for miles along the coast, from Brancaster to Burnham Overy and onto Holkham; Eleanor carried on to Stiffkey and Morston, sketching, looking, absorbing the landscape. What was followed by a second visit earlier this year, then culminated in this thirty-painting series to be aptly exhibited in The Boathouse at Burnham Overy Staithe.”

This pair of stone lithographs have been made in collaboration with The Lemonade Press in response to a recent body of work I made for Messums, Morgans & Nicholas Bowlby Gallery.
For this stone lithograph I drew directly onto the stone from compositions created for paintings. I love that this method of working is so direct and leaves little room for any doubt once you have made your marks on the stone.
The subject matter for the Emerging Landscape Painting Today Symposium on 11th November 2024 at Messums Gallery is centred around “the role of the artist in fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world through unique experiences”.
By pushing myself to explore another mark-making technique, I can further stretch the impulse to work in a completely immediate and connected way to the islands, and be transported in that moment to the location I am working on.
