2008/9 A Sense of Place
November to January 2009. A Sense of Place at the North Dakota Museum of Art. http://ndmoa.com/PastEx/Pastexhibitions.html
After living in the United States for nearly thirty years, I still define myself as English. I almost live in two worlds, watching BBC television, listening to BBC Radio 4: all my news and sense of America is filtered through those sources. It keeps me happy to remain connected, but when I leave my house, the whole wild wooded landscape of Northern Minnesota tells me plainly: I’m not in England anymore. Of all things English, my identity is most closely tied to the English landscape. This series of photographs is part of my conscious effort to become connected to this country, and this land, to feel truly present in my surrounding landscape. I immersed myself in the local landscape.

Beautiful pictures. Last Christmas I was in the South Hampton area in the U.K. and I absolutely loved the scenary. I could drive for hours in the small county roads full of small hills and green pastures. It was truly an unexpected surprise that I want to repeat soon.
