As a student at Duncan of Jordanstone I documented a field at Carlogie near Carnoustie for a period of 15 months from September 2006 to December 2007. This has been a fascinating study of the area throughout the seasons, and with relevant historical research, has developed into a richly layered body of work. I enjoy printmaking and feel it lends another dimension to the photographs I take. My degree show also featured two films.
Personal Statement Embedded within the layers of geological, historical and societal change over time, my work explores the dialectic between memory and perception. I aim to present a personal experience that questions the viewer’s perception of landscape. The recognition of different timescales is implicit in the media used – photography, film and printmaking.
Here are some of my prints.
"Time" This is a photo etching with relief over roll in two colours.
"Restored curling pond" This is a woodcut using two colours.
"High Summer" This is a woodcut using 3 colours and acrylic.
"Reaper" This is a 4 colour screen print.
"Winter Comes" This is a photo etching.
This is a photograph that is a series of shots of an ash tree taken from September 2006 to December 2007. It is 2.5 metres x 15cm.
