Brian D Hodgson



Statement


Continuing my search for somewhere to be, I came upon strange and beautiful mountains and coastlines in Coigach and Assynt, North-West Scotland. They have been drawing me back for a number of years and are central to my work, for which I immerse myself in these wild places where nature's processes are more apparent.

 

Self-integration with environments over time, drawing, taking photographs, and the erosive processes I use, together produce artefacts and artworks that consider the meaning of an individual's actions and their finite time and space, within the vastness of existence.


Biography


I recreate and draw on the ongoing processes and forces that transform our environment, both natural and human-made, over time. I integrate this practice, myself, and my personal psychology with that environment and resulting work. It is performative and psycho-navigational: a way of finding my location and direction; my means of survival.
