Illustrations for Robert Macfarlane’s The Wild Places as part of the RCA Oberon project. The book is a series of journeys into remote areas of the British Isles, informed by anecdotal, literary, geographical, philosophical and other references. Drawings in response to this book were led by the notion of an ‘Isolarion’, an early detail map without information on how places connect. I sought to convey something incomplete, isolated, suggestive of the potential for further exploration, and of disappearance. Drawings were begun on location in Snowdonia and The Peak District.
