Pyschogeography playground: reflections and limbs

While on my walk in the second of two locations I visited, I became obsessed with the pools of water that had formed in amongst the trees of the ancient woodland. They weren’t lakes, or ponds or rivers but bodies of still water as a result of the heavy rainfall. I used 35mm colour film in my vintage Yashica rangefinder to capture these almost mystical reflections, often featuring ‘limbs’ of trees submerged just below the surface.

Methods and Meaning webinar week 2

For this week’s webinar with Georgia Metaxas, I presented some images I was inspired to go out and experiment with following the reading about psychogeography. Taking inspiration from this week’s topic to impose a strategy or method on myself to expand the creative possibilities of my work.

Very much a work in progress but in one day I walked a circular route in two different locations a few miles apart. Stepping from one environment into the next, the aim was to try and find connections between the two.
