Fatigues (E) 2012
Chalk on blackboard
(229.8x556cm) |

| Detail from Fatigues (E), showing that the written annotations are date and time, and an arrow saying 'direction' - not sure whether it says 'narrative direction', and it seems to have been written above and rubbed out. |

Quatermary 2014
5 framed photogravures in 10 parts on Somerset white satin 400gr
239.5cmx709cm (total size) |
Work that is not obviously landscape has included films of a series of blackboard images, or of a butterfly on a wall. Film is often there in her work either as a medium or as a way of looking at something that includes the idea of time. Eg Quatermary - the intricately detailed landscape seems to be divided up into a series of stills, making one aware of the imposition of structure (perhaps time, perhaps something else) from the viewer on the natural shapes. Why print it on satin? I don't know - perhaps to give it a smoother texture than paper or canvas?
