Artist Statement
I am attracted to things that uncover evidence of their past. In particular surfaces that become blemished and worn over time, exposing sediments, histories and provenances. This fascination has it’s origin in the cliff edge at the bottom of my garden. These surfaces instilled a curiosity in layered strata that expose past events and processes.
Alex Bartleet, 2010
