Adam Milford His process begins with landscape. Typically, this is coastal. In the past, his method of interaction would have been the sketchbook through drawings and note taking; however he is now just as likely to be found walking, collecting, and photographing whilst in the landscape. The history, topography, and archaeology of particular places inform an understanding of this landscape, as do transitory experiences of weather, smell, or vertigo. Walking is important. Whether across fields, up hills, over walls, along beaches, down paths, around headlands, or through gorse, experiencing the land through movement informs the painting process. Milford is not solely concerned with the visual. His interest ultimately lies in peripheral places: the boundaries between fields, the divisions of land, sea and sky, the ‘non-places’ of roadside, drove way, car park, or footpath.
