GROUNDWORK

The word ‘landscape’ can conjure up many images and often there will be a sense of it being an old and satisfying term. The meaning however can vary enormously from one person to another. Whilst a group of people may together look out upon the same scene we all bring different experiences that will inform what we ‘see’.

This problem is carefully analysed by American philosopher D.W. Meinig who states that any given ‘landscape is composed of not only what lies before our eyes but what lies within our heads.’
