A series of works in progress, generated at the National
Oceanography Centre, where I am currently Leverhulme Artist in Residence, exhibited as
part of a group show on Mapping at Howard Gardens Gallery,
University of Wales Institute.
Each marks an attempt to engage with processes of representing the
undersea world while providing a counterpoint to the virtual and
optical emphasis of scientific methods. Seeking ways of 'knowing',
centred upon the imagination, desire, the body and touch, capable
of resisting the separation of subject and object demanded by the
use of observation as a way of encountering the world.
