“The fact of a shared underlying limestone formation between Portland and the Dalmatian coast was of interest. A writing process characterised by interruptions. The contours of an internal anxiety which is tidal, intermittent and intense. The geography is Split’s Marjan Park-Forest, a promontory of the spectacular Karst landscape. The writing is visual, fragmentary and chopped up. Lines of text are like layers in the strata of sedimentary rock, sentences as conglomerates of words, letters are particles. Paragraphs are treated like fossils, literally sandwiched into the text of a C19th book about Geology.”
Reflective writings prompted by a walk near Split, Croatia are sandwiched like fossils between text fragments from The Physical Geology and Geography of Great Britain (1878) by Andrew Crombie Ramsay.
Illustrated with b/w photographs.
