Overview
This exhibition brings together artists who use landscape as inspiration to explore the human need to possess, commune with and control environments. Works include paintings, mixed media constructions and sculpture that are not intended merely as documentation but question how we recognise 'place' as being significant and not just a space. Our construct of a place is strongly influenced by emotions, nostalgia, imaginations and ecological concerns. These works explore the way 'place' is often a manifold creation of the mind.
