This work formed part of the 'Practicing Landscape: Field Notes' exhibition in the Annex Gallery, Stow Building (GSA). The exhibition was initiated by curator James N. Hutchinson who invited the Reading Landscape research group to respond to the idea of site both inside the gallery and beyond it.

My initial response was to make ink using rust harvested from the railings that demarcate the land occupied by Stow Building. Some ink was made mixing rust with linseed oil to be used for printing. I used this to make a photo etching which depicts the heavily corroded railing which I called 'Untitled (rust)'.

Another type of water based ink was made using oak gall and rust from the railings and this was given to a number of invited artists and writers to respond to a photograph I had taken of a tree forcing it's way through the metal railings: "My invitation to you is to make a drawing (or a written response) to this ‘event’. I call it an ‘event’ to help us consider time and change on a different scale. I invite you to witness the event first hand, on site…" (quote taken from invitation letter).
