‘Headlands’ is a series of work made on invitation to take part in ‘Entangle’ group exhibition, part of the Diep-Haven festival. Group exhibition curated by Rosie Hermon, a visiting curator to Fire Station Artist Studios.

The theme of the exhibition is the relationship between human and landscape. Headlands is composed of a poetic text, in the form of a graph, referring to the ambiguity between language used to describe the human and the geological bodies, and their origins. This is accompanied by a graph in chalk, a substance found in the landscape around Brighton. The graph refers to geological strata, in particular inspired by Victorian illustrations which took a more fanatical element, as well as alchemical drawings.

The work also included an additional text delivered as a performance with audio. This text was composed when the artist was in residence in the Model gallery in Sligo, and discusses death and geology, cholera and vampires, as well as a guided tour up Knocknarea mountain. This is accompanied by processed field recordings from Queen Meath’s cairn on Knocknarea and thunderstorms.
