Enclosure (2023 - ongoing)
Memorialisation of the theft of the commons and the peasant uprising in Northamptonshire. The Midland Revolt of 1607 is considered the last concerted effort of the peasantry to oppose the transition of feudalism to agrarian capitalism. It was brutally suppressed by the landed gentry whose armed militia slaughtered 50 of the protesters.
The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting. (Milan Kundera, 1929-2023)
Faultlines (2015 - 2022)
A response to the UK Government’s 2014 proposal to go “…all out for shale”. The work represents contested landscapes under threat from fracking and was inspired by people met along the many journeys made throughout the UK onshore oil and gas licence blocks.
