Through my work I explore a contemporary relationship to landscape, and how knowledge of place is affected by its historic meanings and our modern day interactions with it. My research into these places and their history is concerned with creating a unique understanding of this place in relation to my own personal experience.
Through rediscovery of place in our modern situation I consider my own place in, and interactions with landscape. In experiencing these places, through walking, drawing and writing as research, I begin to know them and that which is unique to them. It is the remembered perceptions of being in a place that stay with us and are most important to me appearing as fragments of memory about what is seen, felt and understood.
Using languages of drawing and print, in particular those of intaglio processes, I explore these ideas as the nature of the developing writing and rewriting of information embedded within a matrix is analogous to the journey in memory of a developing dialogue with place and landscape. The final artefacts capture the significance of a place and my time within it.
