Statement
"As a relative outsider, I am interested in exploring how Avon's
character and history - the Roman settlements of Bath, Bristol's trading
seaport past and the modern mix of vibrant cityscapes and bucolic countryside
- have shaped the lives of its current inhabitants.
At the beginning of this project, I am perhaps most intrigued to find
out how the county's identity is held together: to pursue what links
the land and its people, including the name Avon itself, a curious symbol
of both unity and independence."
