“The land has always been there in my mind, beginning with a
childhood helping on the farm. The passing on of the land from one
generation to the next represents continuity and instils a deep sense of
belonging.
I grew up, therefore in a place where history and traditions were relevant and my familiar landscape was connected by a network of mythic and cultural associations.”
