For Bog-Mawnog, I compiled a glossary of terms associated with the peat bog habitat. These objective facts are printed over a panoramic view photographed high in the Black Mountains of Wales. Behind me was an area of devastating peat erosion like an open wound in the landscape. I arrived here after an arduous climb, braced against the wind and frightened by the wild solitude. My subjective response has been reduced to single words, also ordered alphabetically but forcefully imprinted on the scene and competing with the objective glossary. The outer casing of the book has been torn away suggesting the exposure of the peat, unbound without its surface vegetation. The site featured in this book is the focus of Pip Woolf's 'woollenline project'--Artist's statement at the 23 Sandy Gallery Booksellers' website, viewed on March 4, 2015.
