mapping the broads

These engravings initiate a process of mapping and recording. The marshes of the Broads are a physically constructed place – drained, reclaimed, and shaped by human intervention. Situated on low-lying land near the coast, they occupy an area once dominated by the sea. Through the efforts of people who built mills, riverbanks, cuts, and drainage systems, the encroaching sea is held back, allowing this landscape to exist.
