Research Journal : July 2012 :a
29 August,
There's more truth about a camp than a house. Planning laws need not worry the improvising builder because temporary structures are more beautiful anyway, and you don't need permission for them. There's more truth about a camp because that is the position we are in. The house represents what we ourselves would like to be on earth: permanent, rooted, here for eternity. But a camp represents the true reality of things: we're just passing through.

Chapter Two :
THE COMING OF THE IGUANAS
The succession of gigantic geophysical upheavals which had transformed the Earth's climate had made their first impact some sixty or seventy years earlier. A series of violent and prolonged solar storms lasting several years caused by a sudden instability in the Sun had enlarged the Van Allen belts and diminished the Earth's gravitational hold upon the outer layers of the ionosphere. As these vanished into space, depleting the Earth's barrier against the full impact of solar radiation, temperatures began to climb steadily, the heated atmosphere expanding outwards into the ionosphere where the cycle was completed.

Field Document : Dwelling Place/Tidbury Ring (383)
Tidbury Ring is the site of an Iron Age univallate hillfort located in Hampshire. The earthworks have been heavily destroyed by ploughing, but some sections to the south remain in better condition. The entrance lies to the southeast of the fort. The interior is for the most part farmland with the earthworks now covered by small trees and undergrowth[1] Two Roman buildings, possibly a courtyard villa complex were found within the hill-fort. The site is now listed as a scheduled ancient monument no.87[2]

Really luscious. Love how you tie these items of modern fabrication back to our hominid traces in the fossil record. Lost mapping. Another of your fortes.

Biosphere (Ecology and Entropy) 2012.
The sun has gone mad and stripped the earth of its ionosphere. For decades blasting radiation has poured upon earth, melting the polar caps and turning permafrost into streams, rivers, oceans. Huge deltas have been built, lakes formed, seas have risen.

Working in the chapel
Street rubbing from Andover town centre with astronomical data, footprints drawn and represented in lead,lead strips and masking tape. Installed into a temporal studio space as a working inquiry between public space and that of the "practice" the artist's domicile/thinking/working-out space.
The Drawing and its materials act as an " Active Bridge" between "now" and "from elsewhere."
