Lots and lots and lots of little lines…..

Angus has been fascinated with the nature and meaning of the line for many years. Whilst working as an academic geographer he was particularly interested in the nature of the boundary line - both real and imagined. The borders between countries are highly contrived and carefully maintained fictions - one dimensional separators that we all recognise and yet rarely ever exist in any physical sense. Even the shoreline of an island state is a fiction. Shorelines are never abrupt lines of separation, but are zones of transition and encounter, changing twice every day with the ebbing and flowing of the tides.

Emerging from this Angus uses one of the key tools of tradititional cartographic drawing - the ‘section liner’ - to create boundaries within and between lines but which are never in themselves rendered as lines. This meditative exploration of the line has been many years in the making and is manifest in many different images.
