It reminds me of the preciousness of our planet and our moral obligations to each other and the natural world. Artists are well placed to hold slippery, contradictory and complex things in reflective working processes. This is the manner in which I approach my work. The archaeology of marks and objects invite investigation, to draw closer, connecting the fragility of occurrences and the adjustments that can be made in understandings. http://gillianadair.co.uk
