This chapter explores the nature of how place has been conceptualised by subjects such as geography and anthropology, where places are seen as being unfinished, ongoing and ‘made’ and engage with the significance of atmosphere, the felt, more intangible aspects of place and our ‘affective responses’. My contention is that printmaking and a contemporary arts practice is well placed to contribute to such discussions and debates, and I draw on my work and research on landscape to discuss prints, books and other work, contextualising them within a multi-disciplinary, multi-modal way of working, and arguing for the value of a contemporary arts practice in its ability to provide alternative ways of encountering, experiencing and responding to the complexities and multilayeredness of place.
