Ditchling Down April 21st - 23rd 2006

On the 21st April I travelled to Ditchling Down in the South Downs to complete my final trip for this term.

I arrived at about 9pm on the Friday night and woke early on Saturday to walk along to a small forested area inside Pyecombe Golf Course at Rag's Bottom.

Dungeness February 22nd - 25th 2006

On Wed 22nd Feb, myself and two friends drove down to Dungeness in Kent.

It was our intention to see for ourselves this place that we had heard described as England's only desert and to experience the feeling of living next to a nuclear power plant in an area that has been named a nature reserve, and home to many endangered species.

It became interesting to see our individual reactions and experiences during our time there and the progression of our work as we had to adapt and change our ideas and intial plans to fit in to our, at times, very hostile environment.

My work was intended to focus of the ideas of protection and shelter and, following my ideas from the Ridgeway, the use of markings and cairns by ancient man

Ridgeway Chalk Circle Febuary 13th + 16th 2006

For this drawing I used a section of chalk I had collected during my walk on the Ridgeway.

Over the duration of 2 days I spent 3 hours and 15 mins drawing a circle in an anti-clockwise direction onto a black wall in my studio.

The Ridgeway Walk January 9th - 11th 2006

On Jan 9th 2006, I began my journey along the ridgeway, a road running for about 40 miles and dating back over 5000 years.

It was my intention to explore the land through a very physical connection to it and through the act of walking to connect with the history and energy of the earth.
