‘…landscapes and bodies … emerge through their interactions with each other, rather than being free floating or objective givens,…(the body) is emergent through it’s interweavings with the world,’ Damario 1999,

This blog is a scrapbook for my research and experiments exploring the relationship of the body to the environment and landscape.
I have become fascinated in how we interact with our environment.
From the simplest of interactions with our surroundings to our impact on the earth’s climate, we both affect and are affected by our environment. At times we feel deeply connected to things, at others painfully alone. Certain places evoke a sense of belonging other places make us anxious and claustrophobic. What evokes these feelings? How does our relationship to our surroundings shape how we experience the world? How has our evolution been shaped by the environment and how is it continuing to shape us? How important is an awareness of this relationship today?
