Sightlines, London 2017
By
Rachael Clewlow
2017
Sightlines, London (2017) saw Clewlow complete a group of walks in London in an attempt to find routes across the city created by the 13 protected vistas of St Paul's Cathedral and other monuments. Architectural planning restrictions provide Clewlow with a hidden visual structure, which she seeks to make real through the process of walking the streets it traverses below. Sightlines, London (2017) provides the viewer with a 'Map' and 'Key' as the manifestation of this performed experience, charting these new routes as image whilst also speaking of an unknowable, sublime landscape. Through printmaking Clewlow strives to experiment with materials, using elements from her painting practice alongside layering and techniques unique to the printing process.
