The work I completed in Denmark lifts and borrows from the accepted visual language of maps; using this I created a dialogue that explores my insufficient sense of direction.
I am fascinated by how maps offer a visualisation of space, they show us the connections and distances between places and this formed the basis of my research during the residency.
This work uses clay to appliqué my interpretation of the new place of Skælskør and Denmark with collected maps and other people’s observation of that same place to create a collage of expectation, reality, imagination and perception.
What I thought Denmark would be like (mountainous) was very different to what its is actually like (very flat and spacious) and this became an important part of the work I created.
The culmination of our residency was the Guldagergaard Project Network III Group Exhibition at the Apple House Gallery.
The exhibition will travel to Grimmerhus International Ceramic Museum from 16th April - 20th August 2012.
