Biological Landscape

Artist's statement:

Biological Landscape is one of a series of photographed landscapes that are made from synthetic materials and products. A mixture of white and coloured powders – domestic cleaning detergents – form the mounds and depressions of this arid terrain within which a range of prescription drugs of shiny colour-coded pills and capsules is marooned.

The photograph is an enlargement of this material. The photograph acknowledges the particular beauty of these various synthetic materials that bestow benefit and harm on us and our environment and that are an increasing part of our landscape.
