‘…a lot of the time, my work is concerned with human interaction with the landscape of Sussex.

Beneath Mercia most notably takes this interaction and places a bookend some time back, a time when we fully relied on the land to live, and takes another bookend and places it in the present…Within these boundaries I wanted to depict a county, or country even, that was longing to step back into these traditions and ways of living that echoed down family trees, faint memories still alive in the synapses of our psyches…

Beneath Mercia is in no way an answer to the dissonance in our relationship to The British Isles. To me it asks: Where are we? Where were we? And how does that fit in to our lives today?’
