At once familiar and unnerving, patches of woodland, unassuming buildings and arbitrary details of urban infrastructure are the cast of a series of landscapes ongoing since the mid-1990s. Together, they provide a curious record of Englishness and conflate personal and collective memory. -- Accompanying the major exhibition at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary! Art, this richly illustrated publication includes essays by writer Michael*' Bracewell and BALTIC Chief Curator Laurence Sillars, a previously unpublished interview with the artist by the late writer Gordon Burn, j and a new piece of fiction by novelist Peter Hobbs.
