Didi Baldwin: Artist
"Looking but not looking as if glimpsing out of the corner of my eye, with the attention of seeing for the first time, I desire for a strong sense of the overall sensibilities of something. Being intrigued by a banal event or a common occurrence.
I am drawn to find ways of translating my environment, which I have called a landscape, through observing from a step back from a 'normal' sense of time and place. I look across, on to or from, the 'landscape' that has caught my attention.
Through reinterpreting the image and working it through a chosen process, such as film, photography, drawing or etching, I aim to instil an ambiguity in the work. I desire to create multiple readings, to provoke a sense of the infinite and the minuscule. Further more, I wish to suggest a universal feeling of isolation of the individual, abutted against an all encompassing sense of communion of what it is to be human, which by its very nature is intangible".
