In
paintings and artist’s prints, Carry Akroyd
examines two Fenland subjects: the path of the
Greenwich Meridian, and the changing landscape
of the Great Fen Project.
The
Meridian Series
follows an imaginary line across a man-made
landscape. Her viewpoint first dictated by
choosing a point on the map, Carry then visits
with her drawing book. Back in the studio she
works on a way of presenting her observations.
The
work that is based around the
Great Fen
area
conveys the atmosphere of the established
reserves, and records the changes as fields
return to the wetland habitat.
Colour, composition, and wildlife are all
important ingredients in this work which,
alongside images of the
Imagined Place,
conveys a joyous response to a landscape often
overlooked. |
