"On a rocky outcrop I was startled to find a young woman ready to fly. It was the first time she'd been up a mountain & the first time she'd truly 'felt' her world. Before taking off she revealed more; She said that being naked made her feel truly connected to landscape; to be able to feel wind & rain, warmth & cold; to feel stone beneath your feet & wind in your hair. The truth of existence"

"Landscape Figures" explores the relationship between organic human figures and a notional 'wild landscape'. “Although the nude is vital to the project and integral within the images, the images are not just ‘nudes’ – they are landscapes and stories. In a way they are just simple, beautiful, dreamlike visual questions”.
