'Fractured Landscapes'
These pieces offer the viewer an incomplete view of a map or landscape. This represents the partial nature of what we notice when we are out in the landscape; we don’t see everything and remember even less.

These pieces are a development of my experiments casting work which is very thin and only partially fills when pouring the bronze. This gives organic holes through the piece which looks like the landscape is dissolving or decaying.

The folded map pieces are inspired by the memories of poring over Ordnance Survey maps with my father. Plotting routes through the terrain and measuring the distance (never very reliably!) with the side of a handkerchief. The opening up of a paper map is the opening up of a world of possibilities, an invitation to explore.

These are from the same experimental series used in ‘Journey’, this format offers a different way to display these pieces.
