“Tamsin Green’s work uses graphic representations of landscape to act as a pathway into how we map the world, how we see the world, and how we feel the world. It’s work where the distant representation of an Ordnance Survey map is transmitted into the feel of the earth, the sand, the grit beneath our feet.” 

Colin Pantall, Writer, Photographer and Lecturer

"This is How the Earth Must See Itself …  the title of Tamsin Green’s book suggests a challenge to the idea of the modern map – a disruption of its logic and an unseating of the subject as a sovereign observer, gazing at the land laid out before them. This is a book about landscape, but it’s not about a particular place. It’s about the symbols and systems that we impose upon space in order to create an idea of landscape. It’s about the physical processes that shape the land, and the discourses – visual, social, scientific, historical – that shape our experience of it. It’s about the work that we do in order to know the land, and to find ourselves in relation to the often formless reality on the ground."

Eugenie Skinkle, C4 Journal

“Tamsin’s book has been acquired for our Artists’ Books Collection. I use it in teaching sessions with a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes including Photography, Graphics and Illustration. Her book showcases strong design, beautiful photography and creative typography, thoughtfully presented in a way that references the visual language of OS maps. It’s a great example to demonstrate to students how carefully considered design elements enhance storytelling and create a more engaging experience for the person interacting with the book.”

Louise Clennell, Engagement Officer, Special Collections Museum, Manchester Metropolitan University

"The complex combination of illustrations based on ordnance survey maps/archival material along with Tamsin's evocative black and white landscapes and the highly considered design/production of the book incites curiosity and wonder in equal measure. I really admire the way Tamsin engages with representations of landscape that are knowingly subjective yet evoke a sense of universality by dealing with broader questions of mapping, classification and our entangled and complex relationship to our natural surroundings."

Dafna Talmor, Artist and Lecturer

"Tamsin Green's book focuses on exploring the dissonance between categorised space and emotional experience of the landscape, but it also has a particular resonance with the contraction of boundaries we are experiencing due to the Covid 19 pandemic and Brexit.  As the South Coast is the edge of our contact with the nearest continent a close interrogation of it feels very timely."

Jennifer Reeves, National Art Library, Victoria & Albert Museum

“Tamsin Green’s attention to detail and ability to weave beautiful and sensitive imagery into the most wonderfully engineered publication so that they become one, is extraordinary. As a fellow artist I also admire the tactile methods used to convey the deeper narrative of her practice – demanding you pick this book up and never ever let go of it!”
