Orford Ness was an expansive and extensive laboratory where I could investigate and reveal the past by gathering olfactory and textural material.  Initially referencing the work of Gabriel Orozco, and noting the circles that appear across the Ness, I formed balls of clay and plasticine to capture surfaces, smells and textures. I was particularly interested in the Armoury, which has a mysterious aroma that has lingered in the entrance for many years. The findings were translated into a series of monoprints, drawings, and a faint perfume emanating from a range of 3D forms.

The writing of Caitlin de Silvey, Doreen Massey, Merleau Ponty and W G Sebald accompanied me on my investigation.
