This group of work explores the artist’s physical connection to the material world. Made in all weathers by the riverbank, and executed without correction in one sitting on one day, each image refers both to the immediacy of this encounter and the recollection of past experience. This singular occurrence becomes one of a sequence, forming over time a living record that reflects on the fluid interaction of water and ground while simultaneously employing the elements – rain, silt, river water - as both the medium and material in their making.
