'Each one of us should make a surveyor's map of his lost fields and meadows. In this way we cover the universe with drawings we have lived. These drawings need not be exact. But they need to be written according to the shapes of our inner landscapes.'
Gaston Bachelard
from The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane
About Me
- Vanessa Rolf
- Journeys, maps and the physical exploration of a landscape are the main focus for my work. My textiles relate stitch, texture and composition to maps and documentary photographs but also aim to capture the essence of a place. I look to the relationship between the geography, mapping of movement and the recorded experience of a place.
