I have been working in landscape immersion for close to 10 years in a defined space, a 10 km stretch, around 500m wide. Over time, you build an understanding of the temporal shifts affecting plant life at both momentary (light, weather) and cyclical (geological, climatic and ecological) levels and a sense of separation gives way. There is no longer nature and 'us', but instead a kind extension, what I have come to call 'cellular intimacy.'
I became drawn to fluctuations of tonal mass, conjunctions and relationships of light, colour and form; planes of intensity, pixels, grain and molecules as life. And from here, a call to an embodied awareness of the elemental as at the heart of the reversal of climate collapse.
These are contemporary landscapes, and they are ancient, textual and textural; their closeness becomes a form of document.
