Making Our Mark by Sally Waterman

The idea behind her images is that we all leave our mark on our environment as a kind of visual clue for others to follow.

Her work also follows the theme of personal journeys and is inspired by Romantic nature poets such as William Wordsworth.

She takes the Romantic tradition of walking for pleasure rather than necessity and looks at how strolling in a natural landscape can stimulate the imagination.

Her serene and spacious images are bound to make you long for fresh air and open spaces and they'll certainly give you a unique view of the Isle of Wight.
