Discovering Neroche

Revealing the landscape

Discovering Neroche -Revealing the Landscape
by Megan Calver

As placement artist I have been given the opportunity of joining and talking with other artists, gaining from their experience as they work alongside the Forestry Commission to reveal the Neroche landscape.  

I investigate the landscape for myself on foot.  I walk to the hills from where I can get to by bus, on established paths out of surrounding towns and villages and on the Herepath that forges a new common route through.  My feet make sure that the links are there.

I make notes as I walk, my own interpretations kept at bay a little by the pace.  The notes are productive, harbouring ways to take the landscape on its own terms.  A seat might be furnished for the sky, perhaps.  A walking–aid of sorts, to be carried above the head: because the sky always travels with you, keeps pace.  

 

Other ways of being in the landscape are developed and proposed in a series of inserts.
