A tour around the island by bike and on foot has led to a series of rock fall water colours made with water from 5 sources (St Ouen’s, La Greve de Lecq, St Peters, St Aubin and La Rocque) on the island and a cairn of stones.
Each stone in the cairn is labelled with a specific location from my journeying over the island. The cairn maps a 22mile journey around the island of Jersey, each rock holding a memory of a place. They are stacked in the fashion of a cairn, used to find direction when lost.
Each water colour painting focuses on a rock tumbling and it’s momentary occurrence. The watercolours themselves are the landscape colours of Jersey itself, combined with water from the island that was collected from locations which I visited. The rocks featured in the watercolours are part of the cairn and the watercolour painting itself is mapping the individual rock and it’s natural path of movement when rolled.
Finally the remainder of the collected waters are stored in a jar with the local map of Jersey which I used to navigate my 3day tour.
