During a trip to Norway to attend a course to help me understand the role of embodied memory and knowledge for people with dementia when making with clay, I began creating ‘embodied drawings’; shaky pen sketches capturing a fragmented and fleeting view of the landscape as I 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.
I have continued this practice, drawing plants and the landscape viewed though the window of the train journey between Brighton and London that I commute every week. I've created over 50 of these clay tiles for The Fragmented Landscape exhibition, forming groups of repeated plants and landscapes that I see on my journeys.
