Appropriating from the 18th-century artist, Alexander Nasmyth’s romantic landscape, the artist distorts and fragments the original image ‘A View of Tantillon Castle’, firstly into digital media which is then transposed into a physical painting on a linen canvas. Her objectives in this artwork are similar to those of Romantic artists. The Romantics were opposed to the industrial revolution and perceived it as an unhealthy move away from nature. The artist perceives, that the technological revolution has changed the environment and impacted society to such a degree that humanity is endangered. This painting expresses the upheaval and turmoil experienced both individually and collectively. The process of changing a historical image into digital media symbolises the impact of technology on the natural environment and presents a new and frightening reality.
 
This diptych may be hung in a corner at a 90-degree angle, giving the impression of a pull towards the centre, increasing the sense of distortion and disorientation.
