During a trip to Norway to attend a course to help Spragg understand the role of embodied memory and knowledge for people with dementia when making with clay, she began creating ‘embodied drawings’; shaky pen sketches capturing a fragmented and fleeting view of the landscape as she travelled through it by bus. These landscape moments are screen-printed onto rolled pieces of coloured clay, positioned at the edges, moving quickly to the periphery. Assembled together they create something between an observed, remembered and imagined landscape; perhaps connecting to people with dementia’s experience of memory.

Katie Spragg has continued this practice, drawing plants and the landscape viewed though the window of the train journey between Brighton and London that she commutes every week. She has created over 50 of these clay tiles, forming groups of repeated plants and landscapes that she sees on her journeys.
