Set in a wild, indeterminate landscape, Somewhere among us a stone is taking notes explores questions of time and place layered against a backdrop of geological deep time. The work threads between a post-industrial landscape, the shores of a tidal beach and a working granite quarry.

Pitching the objectification of landscape against subjective, sensuous encounter, the images invite engagement beyond their surface aesthetics. Instead they propose a world that imagines what might lie beyond the accepted norms of human perception, a world in which objects are realised in themselves, not just in relation to the human experiencing them.

This work is as much a picturing of our nested relationship with the earth as it is a conjuring of the clash of time embodied in the man altered landscape and a primal space. Mostly, however, it is a meditation and a love song.

(Title of the work inspired by a collection of poems by Charles Simic)
