It has taken many months of work to get this far and I will be trialing the walks this summer with a view to getting ACE funding for next year. I have the possibility of some funding from a local committee of councilors, but so far it has been down to me to email, meet and ask for help.
The common in Epsom and Ashtead was the first place I crossed the line physically and mentally between urban and wilderness worlds. This was as a school boy and it was a revelation. We passed into a place of birdsong and trees where I was both scared and fascinated. Ever since I have returned to walk over the heathland, woods and tracks that cover some 936 acres.
My interest in boundaries started on the common and has underpinned a lot of my art practice.
The next walk will be on the 27th of August, so please come along, see details on my other blog.
