Original artwork description:

Intervention Series
Postcard Paintings - Oil, graphite, pencil, ink
The land that comprises North Mytholmroyd has been notionally divided with natural boundaries, each of which has then been analysed in terms of which feasible natural flood prevention interventions it would be possible to locate there.  An estimate of how much water this would hold back from the valley at time of potential flooding was then arrived at for each of the areas.  
I have responded to this study by analysing the land within each outlined area of opportunity and making a series of 'portraits' of each area. with the aim of both celebrating and drawing attention to the importance of this land for the future of the valley.  The paintings refer to the structure of the land itself, the map and terrain features of each area, water - either above or below ground, and the possible interventions that could be made there.  You can see elements of all these components layered in the paintings.
