The Winding Trek to Dingboche

 
 

100 x 120 cm

Oil paint, collage and mixed media on canvas

Leaving Phakding, the trail follows the Dudh Koshi River through pine forests, suspension bridges and scattered villages before climbing steadily into the higher Khumbu. Rather than documenting a single viewpoint, this painting layers fragments gathered along the route towards Dingboche, allowing memory, landscape and movement to merge through expressive oil paint, collage and gestural mark-making.
