“In this body of work I am looking at 25 locations where violence has altered the English landscape. I have revisited, and explored the often ordinary and surprisingly familiar places around the Midlands, that have been tarnished with tragic pasts. It challenges us to contemplate the meaning of what has taken place but also the lives that have been lost and the families that have been destroyed. We are continuously questioning how we associate and tie meaning to a certain location, urging us to delve deeper. Free of the sensationalism of contemporary reporting the unadorned and often plainly deceptive scenarios question our current perceptions of our surroundings. They allow us to look beyond the innocence of the picturesque or banal scenarios and challenge deeper psychological issues, dwelling on relationships between humanity and nature.”
