Desolation Wilderness

Desolation Wilderness: the continued journal of a sequence of events occurring over a short period of time and in a more specific location in space. Desolation Wilderness is part of an ongoing project looking at 'landscape and memory' - our relationship with the environment and it's profound affect on our own memory and emotions. There is a place called Desolation Wilderness. It is real. It does exist. This collection of drawings is based on the notion of the 'idea' of a place, assumptions that are made about the nature of its existence and where its boundaries lay. Each landscape is part of a journey through a new and unfamiliar environment, exploring the intersection between physical experience and memory.
