Place Markers, not Milestones

Guy Debord, The Naked City, 1957

For today, after experiencing some drift myself, I’m putting this here as a placemarker. If you’ve followed the blog you’ll have an idea of what I mean by that as the work I’ve been doing is psychogeographical.

I’m struggling to articulate the work and its underlying theories without establishing a road map and this situationist approach seems to be the most appropriate for now. I’ll post my thoughts when I know what they are.

The image is from McDonough, T 2004, Guy Debord and the Situationist International: Texts and Documents, MIT Press, Cambridge. which is sitting on my desk as I write.

First post since August, what more do you need to tell you I work in education? 20121229-172905.jpg

So I’ve reached the end of the year with a mental block only marginally released by walking the dogs. The images are based on piles of gardening materials left on a council plot behind the local Academy.I started to produce the images before I took the photograph. There are more of them on the galleries page of this blog.

I have begun to work the idea up with series of larger drawings, but early days yet.
