  • Biography
The landscape is marked by processes, materials and energies we often do not recognise. What is largely ignored or overlooked then becomes fertile ground for the imagination and for thinking about our impact upon nature. Collecting materials and ephemera from sites and trying new ways to process them has led to different ways of engaging with a project.
