Contributors: Leo Duff
Leo Duff is a visual artist whose work has consistently focussed on A Sense of Place. In recent years fascination with the similarities and contrast between East Asian and western drawing philosophies, techniques and materials led to a practice based research residency at Taipei Arts Village. The development of this work is reflected in her images to do with the materiality of stone. Working through drawing, she explores the use and reuse of stone in the built environment through the construction / deconstruction of architecture, rural and urban. Her work examines the movement of stone and the loss and recovery of object and meaning, in both Europe and Asia. Stone quarried and dressed, used for erection of dwellings then laid to waste to be refound and reused at a later date is practical, and typical, of areas of Ireland and England. Stone taken from mountains and placed in the city is common, and deeply meaningful, in Korea and Taiwan. Recent work is exploring the way stone is materialised on archaeological sites in the landscape surrounding Stonehenge.
