RESONANCE OF PLACE Artefact from Glandford Shell Museum, North Norfolk. Note reads: “Rocks bored by rock borers (prob. Hiatella) one also with fossil shell impression”
The techniques I use are not only a means to make the work but have become heavily tied to the conceptual side of my practice. Processes such as water erosion and sandblasting, have a direct connection to natural processes associated with the landscapes and places that inform specific works. For example, the holes made in stone by rock borers. This sample was found on the same bit of North Norfolk coastline that I reminisce upon during the creation of these works. The quality of the edges of the rock and the holes formed through its surface have both influenced decisions made when working upon my own objects.
