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.
