Field Notes
It is about topography and time. Chalk and flint and marsh. The coming and going of the sea, Neolithic farmers and the razzle dazzle of weary coastal towns. It is as much about the ghost of a mammoth as it is the scream of a jet fighter, heading east. Each image is a still from a film – a film that is under constant production inside Maxim Peter Griffin’s skull.
Griffin’s art is about taking somewhere and looking at it over and over so that with each looking it becomes strange and new. As well as being a testament to the isolated beauty of Lincolnshire itself, Field Notes is an extraordinary account of what it is like to be present in, to fully inhabit, a place.

A mixture of diary and observations, of the landscape, the buildings, the old and the new. With art in bold sweeps of colour, catching the mood of weather and the landscape

Lots of disconnected jottings, very insightful, about the area. I found it hard to relate most of the illustrations to the text alongside.
