Brian D Hodgson
£0.00
Brian D Hodgson seeks out wild places and makes works on location, a process that can take time and involve responding creatively to unexpected outcomes. The resulting images and objects are imbued with the artist’s experience of environmental conditions during their realisation. The artworks invite the viewer to make their own mental journeys through their exploration of the images, surfaces and marks in the printed image.
In absorbing the continually changing environment, human exposure to the cold, wind and rain are translated through the artist into drawn marks on a copper etching plate. Integrated into the surface of the plate is the history of its making, where it has been changed by the forces of nature - including residual eroded images of the location, and markings made by the sea and its tides.
The marks are embedded through etching the plate, an accelerated and compressed version of the changes wrought on the landscape over longer spans of time. What the viewer sees is a state in time, where the processes influencing the plate are suspended for inking and printing, maintaining the potential for further development.
For Hodgson, the process of making the work is personally psycho-navigational, a way of finding location and direction, and a place to be where the spirit can breathe.
