Lifted from the landscape is inspired by archeological site drawings of St Catherine’s Hill, Winchester from the 1920’s. The artwork includes the footprint of St Catherine’s Chapel, built in the 12th Century on the Iron Age hill fort and later demolished. It also depicts the railway line that ran between the river Itchen and St Catherine’s Hill until 1966.

Metal objects found during excavations on site are depicted as silhouettes cut from the felt. Archeological finds are often grouped by material, rather than by use or age; here the objects become abstract shapes, unconnected to their purpose and the story of their owner. The archeological finds are removed, leaving a negative space in the mapped landscape.
