The connection between the lines in the
ploughed field and the detail in the smocking on the smocks worn by the people
ploughing the field is something that I've been thinking about. Did they consciously
recreate the world they inhabited within the clothes they wore? Is it
inevitable that humans create patterns or seek to find pattern and so order?
Which arrived first? I am reminded of the moment, after a move from an urban to
a rural area. I realised that within the sculptural books I was making I was
recreating references to the landscape around me – ploughed fields, horizon
lines and the gills of mushrooms – subconscious or did I just find the motif
because I was looking for it?
