My work explores the interference in the rhythms of the landscape by both man-made and natural forces especially over time.
For instance, lost or changed boundaries perhaps formed by old stone walls that used to delineate the fields of a farm, or the edge of a parish, possibly an even older settlement. A river, stream or old waterway whose course has been altered either naturally by the passage of time or for man's convenience via a dam, a lock or a drain. Worn steps and the scraping on the floor from an ancient doorway, a reaching tree growing into the prevailing wind. Places and old buildings resonating with past inhabitants, some long gone, some yet to come, all existing with the natural rhythms of nature but also making their own marks on the land.
I have not expressed these thoughts literally, but as an artist have sought to take slices of the landscape, from different seasons, different times of the day, rearranging, subtracting and adding, referring to the cycle of time and how it interacts to the physicality of the land.
Howard is now collected worldwide with recent buyers from Miami, Washington DC, Sydney, Auckland and closer to home Dublin, Bath & London.
