Works from the Canarvon Gorge series (1989/90) suggest ‘looking at seperate threads’ in the sense that visitors leave individual trails woven across the land.

“In the paintings I concentrated on the notion of layers and invasion by many ‘lookers’ visiting the sites, and looking at but not always ‘seeing’ the landscape. Hence an idea formed in my mind of migrating herds, and so I used monoprints of people upon the land and depicted brief suggestions of the landscape. In many images I marked a pencil section on the paper and contained the picture within, though leaping the boundaries of the section thus suggesting the containment of the brief visit. In others I placed people on rocks like lizards basking in the sun for a brief moment away from the pressure of work. The monoprinted figures gave an impression of ghosts, and in twenty four hours all were gone. “
