“This is part of a series in which I
re-caption archived forestry diagrams, re-inserting lyric, allegorical or
philosophical thought about the forest. It concerns managerial attitudes
towards forestry, often from old Forestry Commission figures (these skeletal
graphic codes of place, designed to be instructive) - but tests these visual
modes of knowledge by bringing in unreconciled literary voices. This piece of
work is responding to contemporary arguments about the visual modelling of the
forest and how to quantify its social and cultural data.” -- Amy Cutler
