As characters moving in urban or rural landscapes, we encounter many forms of markers, whether natural or constructed by human agency. What kinds of connections or associations are stirred up in us in the places we walk in and through? What effect, if any, do these markers have on us, and do we dismiss them as ephemeral or do we attach some importance to them? These images explore a variety of markers in the rural, captured during various walking trips over a six month period.

I am a lens-based artist, poet and a member of the walking artists network, employing visual communication and text-work in my ongoing creative practice, where I interrogate the conception of places together with their connections and histories, absent or present, whether as physical or imaginary constructs. My favoured output medium is that of the printed zine/photo zine; a low cost DIY publishing format with a long history of radical independence. Something well suited to the act of walking. I live in Eastbourne, East Sussex, UK, within ten minutes walking distance of the eastern edge of the South Downs National Park.
