Here Beyond seeks to disrupt the western epistemologies which view landscape through a colonising and binary lens. The traditional understandings and depictions of landscape which assign boundaries between the inner and outer, subject and object and assert at every turn “the ‘proper’ boundary between self and world” (Franke 2012) have historically been employed to uphold the positional superiority of the western imagination. The project Here Beyond attempts to imagine for itself a new way of perceiving landscape which does not draw such boundaries between the physical terrain, the weather, storytelling, and the viewer, among the myriad of other elements that come together to make up what we have come to know as the land. The field of painting within this body of work is an emergent or unfolding act of becoming, formed at the intersection of the imagined, the affective and the material. The works are presented as incorporeal place-scapes which nonetheless hold within them all the contours, depths, heights, and terrains of a physical landmass. The affects pile up and subsume as sediment does, subject to the winds and tides of the human experience. The work is seen as an intermediary zone, a meeting ground in continual evolution.
