What is landscape
but a multitude of interconnected spaces
thoughts and actions and internal worlds
remnants of someplace
mixed with a haze of past encounters
spaces places and feelings
caught and pulled downstream
adrift in a lagoon
I grew up on the edge of the Cotswolds, but also spent much of my childhood in Norfolk, currently the driest part of the UK. I now live in the Netherlands, where being below sea level means a lot of work must be done to keep everyone dry. Both areas are at risk of higher tides and coastal flooding. This uncertainty influences my work. Wherever I stand, at least in the area of Amsterdam, I'm likely standing below sea level and should be underwater.
