The image is made up of; Google earth images of oceanic movement, an image of an Elan Reservoir printed in the Observer’s Book of Geology (published 1968) and a section of a welsh woollen blanket from Melin Tregwynt. Elan is mentioned in the Observer’s Book of Geology under the title ‘Man As a Geological Agent’, thereby reminding us of the terraforming nature of waterways and consequently the digital landscape currently being forged by data-ways. Not only is the blanket swatch reminiscent of pixels when inverted but its very surface is a network of interconnected thread, a nod to the digital infrastructure of the internet.
