The tree at the centre of both these drawings resists salt waters and coastal winds, holding fast in The Wash. I came across it on a visit to consider human made landscapes and the people who live within them. The drawings are made from memory and designed to be a pair. I am interested in the conversation or narrative that develops as we look back and forth between the two.
