Brian D Hodgson: 23 Days of Absorption

Through his work Brian D Hodgson aims to recreate and draw on the ongoing processes and forces that transform the environment, both natural and man-made. Hodgson’s practice involves making physical and mental journeys towards ‘edges’.

23 Days of Absorption was drawn into a grounded etching plate entirely on location in Snowdonia. Over a year Hodgson journeyed from London to sit on a rocky ledge. This precipice was attainable via a gully scramble, 100 metres below a summit, clinging to a cascade of mountainside. A precarious place to be, perched over air, ‘cold hand drawing’ and wet to the skin.
