– a series of artist’s maps dedicated to Derek Jarman.
The series of prints has been developed during walks in the West (Hampstead) Heath where I have been documenting the surface of the park, mainly focusing on trees, both fresh and deteriorating tree trunks.

In this series, the notion of modern nature – a somewhat restricted and constructed image of the organic landscape – is being investigated. At the same time, it discusses the body that inhabits it, moves through it, observes it and subsequently vanish into it. Here, Derek Jarman's connection to the West Heath is explored through the park he once frequented.
