“For me, human presence is the starting point of art”

- Di Terry

Di Terry’s paintings and collographic prints are about the landscape. They consider the narrative between humanity and the environment by recording the impact of industry in the North West of England. Recently in Lockdown Di has become aware of these scars in the landscape left from the Industrial Revolution. Further research has connected this work with the aerial photography of the  massive  open cast mines in Australia and the Anthropocene Project .As a result Di’s work is becoming more abstract and critically engaged, moving away from a representational approach. These colourful, vibrant textured surfaces resonate with the land, evoking the deep geological memories ingrained in the rocks and hills of the Pennines.
