The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation
Our life is frittered away by detail … simplify, simplify

Land is a natural phenomenon
‘Landscape’ is a cultural construct

Andy Goldsworthy
Things are continuously in a state of change or flow and everything, even stone, has a sense of movement about it.

One’s mind and the earth are in a constant state of erosion, mental rivers wear away abstract banks, brain waves undermine cliffs of thought, ideas decompose into stones of unknowing

Landscape is a natural scene mediated by culture.
It is both a represented and presented space, both a signifier and a signified.

Elsje van KeppelAnimal Vegetable 1996
The processes I use are
often metaphors for nature’s
processes, one which
naturally weather and create
a surface. This object is
not specifically about the
landscape ... But is was
stimulated by the experience
of being in a particular
place at a particular time.
It is about an almost
indescribable feeling of
fragility and ever
vulnerability

Iceland taught me that each place is a unique location of change.
No place is a fixed or concluded thing.
