Hill of Hurdles
This work is inspired by the landscape around the waterfall Water-Break-its-Neck, close to the border between Wales and England. Clare Woods often focuses on the overlooked elements of the landscape – from stagnant pools to thick undergrowth. Locations are photographed at night and collaged to create the painting’s final composition. The high gloss finish contributes to Woods’ description of her work as ‘supernaturally charged’.
