The work generates theoretical connections between art history, science - empirical experience,and popular culture. Landscape is used as a medium and process to explore these connections. - landscape appreciation and its origins - the coloniser within the landscape (while landscape seems to be complicit with the colonising force, the land itself often underminds it) - landscape and coloniser as cyborg (an organic core with a 'man-made' chassis).
