Shifting Landscapes

LANDSCAPE collects a selection of photographs and related works grounded in the lived experience of being in the land, where weather, light, distance, memory and the changing conditions of place all come into play.

Beginning with coastlines, mountains, lochs, volcanic cones, open water, winter light and paths through the land, the works hold landscape as both subject and lived encounter. Through walking, looking, waiting, long exposure, return and later reworking, places become fixed moments, remembered distances and altered relationships with time, place and terrain.

The photographs remain connected to the places where they were made, but they also carry the distance between then and now. They move between Scotland and Aotearoa New Zealand, stillness and exposure, observation and memory, where landscape becomes a shifting field of land, light, weather and return.
