“By Tre Pol Pen shall ye know all Cornishmen”

Meaning homestead, headland and pool. It is taken from the Cornish and gives root to many Surnames in the language. Tre Pen Pol, elaborates on these roots and on what it means to be ‘rooted’ in a place and in a history. Within the landscape we see people, a home or museum and physical ties between gaps in the land. We see the hills that are climbed and the paths that lead us. We see what it means to be an individual that is part of a larger landscape, and the complications of navigating such a place. Finally, throughout the triptych the foundations of land resemble the bodies of women, they are what shape the land and the story.
