The other day I came across the book 'Approaching Nowhere' by  Jeff Brouws. This is a book of photos by Brouws depicting a series of landscapes in America. Many of these are desolate roads and train tracks. Obviously these link in with the areas of liminal zones that I'm interested in. What I really like about his photos though is a sense of vastness and forgotten-es that comes with the lack of people in his work.   This has got me torn between wanting to draw figuratively and being interested in spaces devoid of people.
