These materials are used as the ground for a series of paintings where texture is as important as colour in the play between the surfaces of paper and the various densities of paint. The idea of topography is central to the work and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with the environment. This gathering of information during urban and rural wandering feeds into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories. All of these elements find a way into Lloyd’s work. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-01-18T12:50:53+00:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"title","relation":"contains","condition":"Lloyd Durling"}],"published_scope":"global"},{"id":393507832057,"handle":"works-on-canvas-or-board","updated_at":"2025-12-12T08:56:23+00:00","published_at":"2022-03-24T14:43:54+00:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"works-on-canvas-or-board","published_scope":"global","title":"Works on Canvas or Board","body_html":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eOur collection of original paintings on canvas and board includes work by Cornelia O’Donovan, Claire Oxley and Dana Finch.
