Meander
Joseph Hillier
Willow Close
Reflecting on his time in Watlington, the artist, Joseph Hillier states:
“A lot of people talk about the geology, the fact of where it is in the Chilterns. The parish has a bit of the hill and a bit of the lowland below and that has formed its identity.
The other thing that has been interesting is the clear chalk stream which emerges from springs to meander beautifully through the landscape. Chalk downland is a rare environment which supports unique orchids and butterflies. All of this is worth celebrating.” …
In these pieces, I am using the colours of the buildings in the town. The clay, flint and chalk. Meander is the colour of the pale chalk which lies beneath the landscape.”
