Richard T. Walker uses photography, collage, text, video installation and performance as part of an evolving investigation into the natural landscape and its use as a contextual tool to mobilise thoughts and self-reflection. With strong nods towards the European and American Romantic periods, Walker uses spoken dialogue, music and performance to facilitate engagement and analysis that is bothcontemplative and active. His work questions how we perceive nature as well as how we imagine nature perceiving us. This creates a continual dialogue that challenges our personal and general perceived notions of Landscape and Nature encouraging us to question our belonging within the contemporary environment and subsequently within our selves and our society. Richard will be showing a new piece of work, especially commissioned for the exhibition.

For the publication, Richard has produced a new text and image piece The Achingly Separate furthering his relationship with domesticated natural forms.
