Landscapes with Emerging Heads
The Gallery wrote this page as a result of it's increasing interest in the 'Emerging Heads'. Heads seem to appear in many of Tim's paintings but here they are obvious.

When giving us an insight to the "Landscape with an Emerging Head" painting Tim Sainsbury writes "The Landscape I am sure absorbs the people who work* on it. So in the painting there are the obvious signs of humanity. I have tried to show the enduring feeling of mans occupation, by incorporating features (human) into the landscape - hopefully to give the feeling of the departed generations.
I have positive experience of this. I believe that this "presence" in the land is most probably felt by relatives i.e. in the same family, tribe etc. My cousin, as a child could feel this, and told me years later, how she was frequently aware of "others" although playing alone. She always felt this at my Grandparents house & small-holding. I always experienced the same on the site of an Iron Age Camp - just a few miles away. What we were aware of was not ghosts - but a "Natural playback" from the land
*Tim Sainsbury has also referred to people not only working on the 'Landscape' but also being in "close contact" with it. He mentions "and under this there is the less obvious, feeling - the presence of departed generations. I have had positive experience of this."
