In investigating conceptual art I found a book which was based on an Exhibition which ran from October 11th, 2003 til January 11th 2004.
"LOOKED AT PHOTOGRAPHY INSTRUMENTALLY AS A MEANS TO AN END"
"Focusing on roughly a twenty-year period. The last picture show brings together approximately 150 works by 57 artists who took up the camera as a tool to pursue their broader artistic ideas. Using photographs not only as documents of fleeting performances, staged self-portraits, temporary
assemblages, or remote interventions in the landscape, but also as the actual lasting work of art"
By the end of the 1980s, it had become clear that experimental uses of photography were gaining both momentum and validity within the international art world and helping to reshape the possibilities of contemporary artistic expression. It is this legacy that continues to find its descendants in a new generation of artists using this medium today.

In the nature of things:
Art about mobility, lightness and freedom.
Simple creative acts of walking and marking
about place, locality, time, distance and measurement.
Works using raw materials and my human scale
in the reality of landscapes.

The music of stones, paths of shared footmarks,
sleeping by the river's roar.
