Original circular piece 30" diameter. Sits about 2" from wall. Produced in 2001, as part of a series of 4 images entitled "Reap". Exhibited, hung and enjoyed and now offered for sale.
Rationale: The Sussex countryside is today better known for its well kept villages and neatly arranged gardens - a controlled landscape. Celebrated. Those who inhabit this space conform to subliminal codes; transgression is not encouraged with notices issued from parish councils for 'muddying' of the environment, allowing cattle to make 'mess' on the roads. The boundaries defining spaces are well attended - grass verges are often protected from stray tyres by means of ornamental fencing or whitewashed stones. As a woman living in such a rural environment I also find myself guiltily trying to hide all traces of mud; apologising for the state of the car; scrubbing my hands and nails, changing my shoes. The inevitable products that form part of my transition to 'woman about town' are becoming an acceptable requirement of life in the village. As time moves on we incorporate urban attitudes more and more into our vision of the countryside with little regard for a way of life that is gradually being lost to us. These images express my growing feeling of unease with the controlling nature of this landscape and the inescapable sense of a presence.
