Two Fields Meet

My work investigates how people mark the land and how we come to know “place”.
I am interested in patterns of settlement and how land is structured by humans and by
nature.
Several years ago, a friend introduced me to the word “Ecotone”. An ecotone is an area
where contrasting ecosystems butt up against one another and meet. This creates
energetic space…the line where meadow meets forest, the transition of land to water,
the active movement of tree lines shifting,,…
The works exhibited in Touch, have a sense of boundaries, edges, and the meeting of
two distinct communities. The works are made with earth pigments found and collected
in several remote locations.

Tingmiatornis arctica - Lilac and Smoke 

Acrylic on canvas

H50 x L40 cm

2021 

The rapid thawing of the arctic is revealing many new archeological finds. This work reflects upon the recently discovered prehistoric toothed arctic bird Tingmiatornis arctica which resembled a cormorant and was alive during the Cretaceous Period when the arctic had a semi-tropical climate.

In this work, we are presented at first-glance with an atmospheric scene of cormorants nest-building, bathing and flying. Smoke rising from the water and the hills make us think of mist or a forest fire; this leads us to notice the teeth of the birds and transports us back 90 million years to a time when Tingmiatornis arctica flew over the semi-tropical arctic waters and mountains, which could erupt at any moment.

Otus and Ephialtes, 2019. Linocut 16 x 22 in, edition of 4, printed on Arnhem 1618.
Excerpt “Otus and Ephialtes” by Anna Williams
Breaths catch
Blood pools
The brothers are consumed with a new hunger.
Practiced predators,
They split and flank.
Aim and launch.
From either side of the glade
The sing of spears cleaves the silence
Artemis leaps.
Reflected horror glints on polished blade
A mirrored death.

Printed on the artist's ingenious home-made printing press (made of a car jack, melamine and oak). Created for her upcoming solo exhibition Untold Stories I once Wished Lost at the Karsh-Masson Gallery (re-scheduled for 2021).

An Untamed Bond, Part 2 of 5 of The Allegory of Atalanta, linocut, 2020.  Edition of 6, printed on Arnhem 1618, 16 x 22 inches.

When Atalanta was born, her father had hoped for a boy and so he left her on a mountainside to die of exposure as was the practice with unwanted girls or disabled children. Artemis, in the form of a shebear, found her and suckled her. She was raised as one of Artemis’ huntresses.

Print 11: The intense disappearing into remembering was beginning to make the witch feel weird.

“Move.” said the witch's body.

The witch put her cards down and stood up.

The light was starting to change.

It was twilight.

The clouds shimmered silver and gold in the setting sun.

The witch walked along the edge of her beloved forest.

“Everything okey dokey?” asked the ginormous disembodied clown face.

Print 5: The witch looked up.
The ginormous disembodied clown face was peering at her from behind 6 cards.
“Hey! It’s 4 cards each!”
“I’m not good with rules.”, said the face, “Shall we begin?”
The witch laughed. 

The face reminded her of someone but she couldn’t quite remember who...

Print 3: Gaaaaah!!! screamed the witch and dove behind a pair of rare orange hibiscus bushes for cover.
It seemed her parasympathetic run away and freeze response had gotten the better of her.
“Don’t worry, “ said the ginormous disembodied clown face with a cheerful kind tone.
“I’ve been vegetarian for years! Hahahahahaha”
