I encountered Swinsty Reservoir today.
It was calm, serene and you could almost hear a pin drop! Decided to do the
4mile walk around the reservoir.After my crit yesterday I have decided to
simplify the mark making processes within the landscape.
Stone as a material features
heavily within the Yorkshire landscape. As well as the industrial features of dams,
reservoirs and mines, dry stone walls are a core part of the Dales landscape.
Because of the rough texture of the
stone and its capability to realize drawing marks on its surface I will
continue with the process of drawing with stone on stone.
I will then remove the stones to
generate cavities where they once were. These cavities will remain as my integration
with the space and I will transport the stones removed back to the studio
space.
Introducing a process formulated within the
studio. Fishing wire hand knitted on willow needles. I am exploring aspects of
binding and weaving, appropriating the grounding and rooting of humanity to the
landscape and the physical world.
