Excepted Land

The CROW (Countryside and Rights of Way) Act, or "Right to Roam" Act, excludes the right of access to land known as “excepted land” even if it appears as open access land on maps. These restrictions vary from military bylaws to areas inhabited by structures like electricity substations, wind turbines or telephone masts.

Using the act as a basis for research, Excepted Land is a project that explores the boundary of permissible land access revealing the functional purpose behind a collection of structural forms. At times contentious and periodically covert, the structures make challenging, intermittently hostile subjects.

The project is bound by a fascination with structural forms and their inextricable link to the natural world which envelopes each subject.
