In the studio

I've been trying to find ways of expressing my interest in how a landscape might be defined by the names used for the places in that landscape. I've started in quite a basic way, using an OS map of the Tarset area, I selected place names with the word black in them. Tracing round the names gave me the starting point for this new topography, simply repeating this with paler and paler ink created a new 'map'.
