Greenland
This work responds to a 2006 Arts Council of England funded trip to Greenland in which I immersed myself in this raw and remote landscape, with its emblematic and topical association with the effects of climate change. Issues relating to human vulnerability, heightened by lengthy periods of personal isolation, informed my response. The ongoing work does not make grand statements; it acknowledges the private relationship that developed, with less tangible elements of the experience being explored; the sense of immense space and light; the interrelated existences of rock and tundra vegetation; the complexity of colour and movement of ice.
