Inner Landscape
For his CES project, Will chose to paint emotional landscapes, images of the land around Millbrook rooted in reflection of his emotional growth during his time as a student. He created series of four abstract expressionist landscape oil paintings using reference photos of the Millbrook area; the series helped Will to “recognize, process, and manage” his emotions, with a special focus on his VIth form year, a period for him of “profound emotional growth.” The paintings are stunning, and the process of creating them facilitated a truly culminating and reflective experience for Will, who skillfully and beautifully told the story of becoming his best self.
