Self Portrait as Time Traveller' is one of a suite of drawings that responds to the work 'Kangaroo Stalking' by S.T.Gill. It also plays with certain ideas or problems in the depiction of landscape more broadly. The work plays on an old spatial illusion or trick of photography(think tourists at the Leaning Tower of Pisa). Maybe the trick works temporally as well as spatially or at least fails equally to convince us in both dimensions.
