‘Commonplace’ and ‘Unfolding Landscapes’ investigates our relationship to a landscape which is constantly changing according to our urban and industrial needs. The term ‘Common’ in English means to ‘belong equally to’ or ‘shared equally, denoting areas of land used historically for grazing, catching wild game and gathering plants.)
This haunted land full of “the shadows of marks made by man in the earth”, of “reflections in water and flooded fields”, of “gardens and seasons changing”, is one that is often missed by the passer-by and artist alike, but it is a rich and rewarding place as Cas has shown in her work. It is an inspirational well of harmony and balance, as well as of conflict and division. Something shared and something complimentary, as she says herself “We have an intimate relationship with the land, but equally share ‘common connection’.
