The Disk, was a piece of metal recovered from one of the warships at the bottom of Scapa Flow. I found this piece to be uniquely representational or symbolic of the human relationship with nature and the environment and the cycle of things. Iron taken from the earth and shaped for devices used for destruction later turned into the substrate for which new life could build homes. The salt and the oxidation of metal, both photographic and alchemical unify this idea of the life cycle. The circle represents this same cycle, a galaxy of colour or the planet, something more universal, and hopeful.

Liquid silver emulsion on Somerset
h: 145 w: 195 d: 1 (cms).
I was walking on Hoy in Orkney. People plan their schedules around the wind. I noticed the grass making markings in the sand with the wind. These 'Xs' reminded me of early writings from Neolithic peoples or later inscriptions from Vikings. Some are left solely to interpretation. How the wind changes constantly, but our relationship continues. Our markmakings are inspired by nature; our days are still planned by it. I make developers from scratch from plants foraged in the landscape for my film. I hand apply and paint the silver gelatin emulsion on my paper, allowing the brushmarks to act like the wind in reeds. Connecting human relationship with our environment.
