'Sixteen Landscape Compositions [after Alexander Cozens]' 2008, is a series of 16 drawings based on a treatise by Alexander Cozens, the late 18th Century philosopher, writer and artist, entitled 'The Various Species of Landscape Composition in Nature'. Cozens' work was an attempt to reflect landscape ecology as a theoretical basis for nature in relation to 18th Century empirical epistemology. It attempted to describe the various characteristics of nature and a systematic way of experiencing the enlightenment of nature.
