Mark Making & Presence within the Landscape

The actions of presence within the landscape (see Mark making & Presence with the landscape blog) is now pushing my work forward. The physical process of drawing stone on stone is such a palpable action that it enables me to become close to the land itself through the stone used.  Nothing can replicate the physicality of the elements around me or the coarse rough feel of the mark making stone itself. The friction and resistance generated while drawing stone on stone brings me closer to the material and the space I inhabit.
