About
Field Notes questions how we relate to nature on a personal level by placing human, emotional self in relation to the earth. Much of the work responds directly to my new surroundings here in Stoke- on-Trent, taking into account both the physical environment and my own thoughts, experiences and mindsets and the exhibition documents how these become intertwined as one. Through interdisciplinary practices, I documenting on a scientific level: collecting data, objects and readings from the land; whilst recording personal feeling in response to time, space and place.
Field Notes examines the notion of locating yourself externally whilst simultaneously locating yourself internally. It documents the act of finding a sanctuary within nature when faced with unfamiliar surroundings; the act of situating the physical body close to the earth and tying sentimentality to physical states. Do these practices alter perception of internal emotion or the external environment? Both, neither?
