"Plants triptychs and 'composite' works incorporate found objects, collected and carried on his journeys across beaches, down rivers and through the local countryside to be later edited indoors, creating a continuation and interrelation between studio practice and working en plein air. In these painterly pieces, Plant work draws a line of connection to the history of artists working in the Cornish landscape, such as St Ives painter Bryan Wynter, or the native artist Alfred Wallis, whose works often similarly incorporated found objects and surfaces"

Anna Souter, 2022

"At first glance Plants work might appear abstract but the shapes, forms and patterns that appear throughout are natural, organic shapes drawn straight from the Cornish coastal landscape that surrounds him. They are topographical and exploratory.

A jagged line might be a pathway, a distant headland, shadows cast by rocks or marks made a tides rise and fall. Angular spirals, like eddies of water, serve to move the viewers eye around the work, never allowing them to stay in one place for too long.

The lines are also an attempt to rid the work of any sense of scale, often consisting of the same forms being drawn several times from different vantage points. It is capturing the disparity in the repetitions that fascinates Plant and shapes his work"
