Identity only becomes an issue when something assumed to be fixed, coherent and stable is displaced by an experience of doubt and uncertainty. This series of images were made in response to the crisis of identity being experienced by our British agricultural landscape and those associated with it. This became focused for me personally during the winter of 1997 - 1998. Picturesque assumptions normally conveyed by the term 'landscape' are being undermined and a British identity can no longer be linked convincingly with a 'green and pleasant' land. What is experienced instead is a continuing sense of unrest about changes within the landscape and a widening gulf of dislocation and misunderstanding between the urban and rural communities. A gulf which Ifind myself inhabiting within post-modern concepts of a fragmented sense of identity. These photographs portray the area where I was born and brought up and where my parents still farm; it seems that they will be the last generation to do so.
