Statement |
The
main body of my work has developed out of a personal interest
in nature and landscape. Primarily a fine art printmaker,
I use digital photography of local landscapes as a sketchbook
to explore themes in my work.
[Pennington Flash Sunset]
The body of work Many-coloured land explored this interest
filtered through the medium of memory and fantasy, producing
richly coloured digital prints and lightboxes which evolved
directly from my own photography. [Bonfire II]
More recently, I have been looking at how in the UK, our
ideas about what constitutes ‘landscape’ have
been formed by the writing and art of the 18th and 19th
centuries. It has become part of our culture, and our national
identity. We think of it as natural, but it is every bit
as man-made as a town or city.
The environmental and ecological impact of mankind on the
landscape is increasingly debated, and informs my most recent
body of work. In it, I explore ideas about how representations
of landscape inform how we think about it and how we use
or abuse it. This has evolved into the current multiple
layering of images to ‘create’ new landscapes
through papermaking, overprinting, collage, stitching and
‘distressed’ elements using hand made and recycled
paper pulp to represent the multi-layered and recycled character
of our landscape. be updated.
