Folly Wood
Development of Draft Plan – “Looking After Folly Wood”. This has included a template at the end to enable people/groups to take responsibility and make decisions rather than being dependent on a central or otherwise controlling agency. Although my intention at Folly Wood was to explore the relationship between aesthetic appreciation and biodiversity in the woodland, I have been reading various texts on citizenship and participation in the context of sustainability and am also interested in the role of art in providing “the space” for discussion and engagement.

“Inner and Outer Space”, Yoga and Drawing Walk
Developing programme for Yoga Walk with Amanda Sultan-Black and making flier. The idea being to use walking, drawing and yoga to develop the relationship between the inner landscape and the outer landscape. To use both drawing and yoga as ways of developing an engaged appreciation of place and developing thoughts about “disinterest” as a positive approach to aesthetic appreciation.

The Weave
20th and 21st – making animation of Weave Symposium and canal walk. Aspects to include are: weaving, inside/outside, feeling and knowing. Overriding imagery is walking as engagement with place, line as both a route and representation of heart beat, light as both evidence of presence and nature/ photosynthesis. Light and line as an allegory for nature and human nature, internal and external landscape.
