This lane near Bruton in Somerset divides in to two just before it plunges in to a coombe. Also known as Coombe Hill, Whaddon Hill and Snakelake Hill. This is a very old lane connecting ancient settlements using the easiest route possible through quite difficult terrain. Now surfaced the old lane would have been worn deep by generations of horses’ hooves and cartwheels wearing away the soft clay/brash soil and the rainwater washing away the loose material in to Coombe Brook below. At this point in the view the lane splits. The graphic works from this series followed a painting expedition through Western and Northern Australia in 2010. The seemingly abstract colour and pattern used by the indigenous painters is actually very representational often recording knowledge of dreamtime spirits and songlines in the landscape. Returning to Somerset I was inspired to paint my local lanes in a new light. In a way they represent my own version of songlines in my life, land and background.
