Podcast interview with gallery owner Johnny Messum and the artist Jo York.
"My work comes from a strong sense of place derived from walking in the  landscape; absorbing it in all weathers, seasons and moods. Landscapes  are full of layers; geological and historical, industrial and personal-  they carry traces of what’s gone before, and this is what fascinates and  intrigues me. I abstract ideas from the landscapes I know well, using  observation, imagination and memory. Current work is exploring margins  in those areas where land, sea, water and sky, shift and merge and  change, and the wild landscapes of North Yorkshire, Cornwall and  Scotland are recurring themes.
Paintings are made slowly, building multiple layers and often  scraping back and incising detail, before glazing over the top, to  create a complex picture surface. Acrylics are central to my practice as  I love their flexibility and immediacy, but I also work in oils, mixed  media, textiles and print."
