Fluid abstraction & mixed media —
paintings that move like landscapes seen from above.

( The practice )
Paint is poured, tilted and persuaded — never forced. Each canvas is a slow negotiation between pigment and gravity, sediment and bloom, until the surface settles into something that feels found rather than made.
Working from the studio, Brodie builds layered grounds of acrylic, ink and salvaged paper, letting rivers of colour carve their own course across the canvas.
The result sits somewhere between geology and memory — desert strata, tidal flats and garden tangles rendered in bone, bronze and deep green.

Peach and umber currents collide in a white seam of light — rain arriving over dry country.
