Briony Anderson’s work engages closely with landscape through painting and printing processes. Neither abstract nor representational, it hovers somewhere in between. Abstract marks take on pictorial elements of landscapes and colours are often quiet, subtly suggesting distanced encounters with the northern landscape.  Often the subjects are horizon and tidal lines – untraceable edges.

Mainly working on a small scale, her current work combines different materials and processes, evoking landscape rather than describing any one place. Her work is always influenced by her environment but she also uses other sources, such as historical landscape paintings and nature writing as a starting point. Briony often uses the postcard format in her work to reflect the continuing ritual of sending an A6 sized object in order to share, commemorate and celebrate a particular landscape or location.
