My work has come about whilst considering our changing relationship with the environment and those we share it with. Strong ties to a place that I feel somehow removed from,
detached from the culture, knowledge and experiences of previous generations. A ‘home’ I cannot settle in. Industrial landscapes reframed as beauty spots and holiday resorts, less for the indigenous, more for those visiting.
I am trying to process the changes to this way of life, displaced by globalisation and free trade, and the impact that has on an identity of a people and their sense of belonging. Old skills and habits no longer passed on first hand, folklore attaining mythical status as we struggle to retain our heritage and identity.
