Statement

"Gloucestershire is now my home county, after what seems a lifetime and then some of living in London. We made the choice to make a break away from the all consuming metropolis of my birthplace,not to pursue a romantic self-sufficient existence but to surround ourselves with somewhere new. To reinvigorate the senses, and start exploring again. To be an outsider once more, looking at this landscape and its people with a sense of detachment that only comes from being a stranger.

Gloucestershire for many people is the Cotswolds and I want to explore this most quintessential part of Britain: to use it as a backdrop. To try and introduce a more modern personality to this county. Incorporating some form of contemporary reference to the picture postcard image associated with the region.

So the Towns and villages of the region along with the landscape will all be new hunting grounds for me. Local paths and roads are all unfamiliar routes, leading to who knows where. I want to familiarise myself with this county of honey coloured stone buildings and the large expanses of undulating hills and pastoral land. Is it really as idyllic as it can seem on those all too precious sunny days or is it all just a quaint facade."
