The work in this section is more sculptural in nature, but the inspiration behind it's creation is still landscape based. Found objects have been used either as a support, or placed in or on, boxes that I have made from wood. Many of the pieces use Homeopathic remedies, for e.g. "Lakeland Slate" is a piece that was inspired by Castlerigg stone circle, it contains the remedy Lakeland Slate as the circle was built on a bed of slate.
