Every landscape has its own diegesis: layers of sounds, spaces, characters and events that unfurl and create their own dialects through time. To merely gaze upon a landscape is to behold it in the eyes of a spectator, yet it is through a combination of sensory elements that we can start to immerse ourselves within a particular landscape; to participate with it and embody it in some way. In doing so we can begin to construct our own narratives -through actively venturing forth to discover and engage with landscapes old and new, familiar and dissimilar - we can become of place and landscape: both player and spectator.

In relation to landscape, place can be viewed as a specific site, location or identity within the greater whole. To establish a sensibility with a certain place is to build up a relationship with its integral foundations - to pin down an amorphous subject and discover what it means to be of a place and how then that place is perceived by the outside world. I am interested in the dialectical tensions between documentary and literary presence within certain places - how can one construct a story through the conflicting pulls of truth and fiction within the narrative? 

History is seeped with stories intrinsic to particular locales; they embed themselves within our landscape through the retentive memories of former generations - inexorably linking past and present together and allowing the formation of a connection to a historical past not necessarily of one's own.
