“Landscape drawing” is influenced by the mountainous and industrial landscape of Sion, nestled in the Valais region of Switzerland, where the artist spent some time in the winter of 2016.

The work is a performance which explores this encounter. Found objects like scraps of steel and acrylic are juxtaposed with elements of nature such as rocks and tree bark.

The artist interacts with these components – her marks and traces are captured with pigment powder on paper on the studio floor.

Two performances take place with a play of light. One at midday with the sun’s shifting shadows and one at night with objects lit from within and the studio lit from outside.
