Title Roche
"This work is both charged and completed by the quality of marine light particular to Bristol. The drawings were made in response to the stone, surfaces, scale and geometry of the architecture to bring a sense of landscape, an awareness of changing light, and an experience, in the internal light-well, of being ‘inside’ the work. There is something of the physical experience of seeing something in the moment, some sort of realisation or moment of understanding, that I am trying to make happen - whatever the context."
