Artist Statement - 2022
My work revolves around an interest in imaginary spaces and is inspired by the landscape that surrounds me.
When I ask myself, what it is that draws me to engage with it, what it is that lies beneath what I see and what it is that I look for in the first place, I now recognise it as… the folkscape.
The traces of the folkscape that I seek are current or historic, are seasonal or daily or simply once in time… the indelible, although at times, the faintest footprint impressed onto its surface.
