"I move through the dunes of Lon, tracks and shadows intertwine, sunlight filters through the thick canopy. Space engulfs me as I reach the top of the dunes, the experience etches into my mind."
"The vastness of the sea that stretches to the horizon engages and calms my senses. Easing back into the labyrinth of tracks I find myself lost for a moment. Past times filter into my mind, images emerge. Did others experience the same feelings I was experiencing?"
"I think of the indigenous inhabitants, Buckley, explorers, farmers, visitors, artists, defenders of our shores, the watchers, all explorers like myself feeling the solitude, the wonder of nature. Then space unfolds in front of me, a sense of relief as I emerge from the trees and tracks. The Lon farm spreads out before me, beckoning to be explored, observed, interpret and reflect on during the months ahead as an artist in residence. "
