This is the new work which I will be showing from Saturday at Come Ye Hither at Loch Eport on North Uist.
These photographs challenge the established form of the picturesque, seeking to alter the viewpoint which is so central to human interpretation of the landscape. Rather than assert control over the environment, I tried to become part of the 'view', literally immersing myself in the landscape in order to experience it differently. The photos were taken over a period of two weeks, in Scotland and Sweden, which generated a very pleasant routine of swimming regularly, which is certainly easier when it is warm enough to do without a wetsuit.
