My practice aims to establish an understanding of how recalled imagined possibilities of childhood embed themselves in a sense-of-place. Of how visual codes and conventions in describing the sense of place, reveal a landscape as a repository of memory. This work goes to the heart of recent debates about ‘true’ and ‘false’ memories, fictional accounts of auto-biography and in the psycho-geographical interpretations of the environment (and in particular the Liminal).
