Part of my ongoing series of drawings called Fall Into Memory where I am exploring how memory of landscape and place are moulded, changed and influenced by our access to our recording of these places. During lockdown the importance of place and landscape became ever more important in attempts to seek contact with the outside world. Certain spaces and places became ever more significant and this drawing, whose title refers to the latitude and longitude of the place the drawing is based on, is based on my home which itself gained more significance throughout lockdown for obvious reasons. The drawing itself is an attempt to represent a sense of place but remains resolutely abstract such as memories and recall of place and space can only be. The colours chosen give reference to what my memory recalls as some of the colours of the building I live in. I am trying to share the abstract nature of memories and recall of place, space and landscape through abstract drawings based on significant spaces, places or landscapes. I use photography, printing, sketchbook drawings, tracing, carbon paper, inks, pens, pencils and some paint to build my drawings.
