Sandy Mallet paints aerial views of people’s gardens, farms and estates which he transforms into abstract works. In this episode, he talks about how he personalises each painting, how they show how land has been used down the centuries, how his knowledge of post-war British painters about whom he’s written several books feeds into his complex painting process that combines planning with instinct.
