The subtle lines of this landscape, which are created by the slow movement of the ground over time, remind me of the contour lines on a map. These lines are complemented by the shape of the trees that grow here. The Black Torn grows well in this landscape. Its growth is influenced by the direction of the prevailing winds. During the winter, these trees are bare and appear black against the grey sky. They are sculpted by the weather and have an almost tangible sense of movement. During the winter evenings flocks of crows fly across the landscape. To me they represent the coming of night and the movement of time. In this work, I try to capture that atmosphere. I want to represent that sense of movement and time with the use of simple lines and monochromatic colour" - artist's statement.
