“In this body of work, Douglas considers the impact of the weather and changing climate upon his experience in the landscape. As a gardener, he bears daily witness to the weather and is keenly aware that we are witnessing dramatic, unseasonal and severe weather, nation and worldwide. Translating this shifting world into his paintings, we see evidence of a wilder terrain, the force of the elements and their impact on both our bodies and nature. The exhibition gently reflects on this transforming environment, urging us to ponder what our ongoing connection with it will be. How will we engage, move and live in the outdoors in this new climate?” - Bayoush Demissie, Aster & Asha Gallery.

All paintings are acrylic and oil on stretched canvas and range between 112 x 92 cm, 76 x 61 cm, and 51 x 41 cm.
