Próiseas/Process consists of a series of twenty two original abstract pieces on paper.

Próiseas is the culmination of four years of exploration into the Irish border but particularly centred on the British Army watchtowers, surveillance and their intrusion on the landscape of south Armagh. The work is developed from a series of photographic drone images taken of the thirteen Army watchtower sites and their strategic placing along the south Armagh border during The Troubles. I commissioned a drone photographer to capture these thirteen sites now that they have been decommissioned, the intention being that the drone images would reflect a contemporary cartography; a new way of depicting the landscape but also to experience the juxtaposition of rural Irish landscape versus the architectural, manmade structures of surveillance. By manipulating the drone images with solarized filters-similar to the results an army thermal vision camera would give, detecting temperature change-I have translated the work into this series of works on paper.
