My research of the Carss Park and Blakehurst area started with an interest in my grandfather Leslie Blake’s family tree.  As I explored more of the local area and history I was struck by the multitude of histories this landscape has experienced. My artwork aims to personalise and recognise these historic traces in the environment, to peel back the layers of modern infrastructure and reveal the mass of interwoven past lives just below the surface.
