As part of the Constable Ambisonic project I want to understand how we perceive the landscape, and what did Constable and his contemporaries bring to our understanding of the natural world, and who else has contributed to the language used and ideals we hold in regard to perception of landscape. Here I talk to painter Simon Carter at his studio in Frinton-on-Sea in Essex. We discuss a variety of topics including the Essex landscape, repetition in walking and music, abstract works, and of course, Constable.
