Personal website of Kel Portman.

“My Artworks are made before, during and after an interaction with the land…
…and are often the result of a solitary or group journey, an observation, walk or event”.
Multiple viewpoints and interwoven overlays replicate the dynamic sensations experienced during the ‘journey process’ with accompanying text defining aspects of the moment.
The resulting interpretations and images are not in the tradition of the Beautiful, the Picturesque or the Sublime, rather they often reflect transient moments and fragments of time; the glimpses of shape, colour, light and shadow seen when passing through the landscape. The works are rarely medium specific and are often made using several different media that could include Photography, Printmaking, Drawing, Digital Imaging or installation.
