Robin Dowell
Truro
I am interested in the journey on foot and the politics of land and landscape.
The majority of my work originates in journeys on foot, and the searches and consequent discoveries made therein; artefact or memory, waymarker or narrative. The transformation from routine to prosaic ritual is reflected in the elevation of vernacular materials. Recurrent themes are finding or gathering, chance and choice, and location or disorientation.
Over the past few years my practice has become more political, and I am interested in the idea of the landscape as a metaphor for our relationship with the Earth as well as each other. Concerns include international politics: environmental issues, nationalism, extremism as well as intolerance and inequality.
