Abstract
8 etchings exhibited as part of a group exhibition at Gallery 57 Arundel.
The thematics of my work continues around the discarded bunkers and remnants of war within the desolate landscape of Romney Marsh.
The landscape of the Marsh is scarred with military defences and littered with Martello towers and the meandering Royal Military Canal; the threat of Napoleonic invasion led to this being constructed between 1804 and 1809. More recent additions of Pillboxes and Military Ranges contrast the tranquillity of the landscape with underlying reference to human combat and violence both past and present. These act as departure points for other beginnings of prints that are informed by the minimal geometry and idiosyncratic landscape.
