The Scapeland series depicts aspects of the natural and cultural landscape of East Anglia, a largely rural region with a rich medieval heritage and an abundance of roadkill on its quiet country lanes.  The photographic juxtapositions within each piece in the series are constructed on the basis of some sort of visual “fit.” Sometimes there is a rhythmic continuity across the pairings; sometimes a harsh kind of beauty.  Some pieces happen to record the look of particular animals’ unnecessarily lost lives, but the series is concerned neither with narrative nor with commentary.  Jean-François Lyotard used the term dépaysement to characterize the inescapable otherness that he saw as “a precondition for landscape.” The aim of the Scapeland series is to present something characteristic of this particular landscape simply by registering the material continuity of feathers, flint, earth, guts, leaves and stone.  Works from the series have been included in the following ten exhibitions: Ecce Animalia (Orońsko, Poland, 2014), What Does Art Add? (Newark, NJ, 2015), Matter. Place. An Other. (Northampton, UK, 2015), Touching on Science (Norfolk, UK, 2017), Trees and Other Objects Norwich, UK), 2017), Remembering Animals (Northridge, CA, 2018), Radical Landscapes (Great Torrington, UK, 2019), Steve Baker: Fieldwork (Sheffield, UK, 2019), and As Kingfishers Catch Fire (Limerick, Ireland, 2020-21).
