About

Radical Landscapes presents work from  over 30 leading language artists including Hanna Tuulikki, Richard Skelton,Lawrence Upton, Alec Finlay, Judith Tucker & Harriet Tarlo exploring the continuum between drawn, painted and written mark-making in the construction of landscape aesthetics.

Camilla Nelson is a British language artist and editor of Singing Apple Press. Her work explores human and other-than human intra-action through page-based poetry, installation and performance. There is a programme of events associated with the show which can be booked via the diary section of the website.
