Walk No.25

Mary Overly
The Six Viewpoints.

I was introduced to this practice through Deborah Black during a workshop at In Other Tongues, a creative summit held at Dartington Hall 2017.   (see: http://artdotearth.org/ )

I've been applying it to the walks....

THE SSTEMS

Shape - Perceptual ability to see and feel physical form.

Space - Perceptual ability to see and feel physical relationship.

Time -  Perceptual ability to experience duration and systems created to regulate duration.

Emotion -Perceptual ability to experience states of being.

Movement - Perceptual ability to experience and identify with kinetic sensation.

Story - Perceptual ability to see and understand logic systems as an arrangement of collected information.



Difficult to document, of course........

Walk No.13

Route: Home to Vire Island Duration: 5 mins Time of day: Evening Metaphor: Delueze and Lefebvre have something to say about this.  It's ok to use that word again.  I used to like it but it felt outdated.  Now it lives again.  Collage:  I start to imagine the walk being documented in different modes but simultaneously.  The mash up makes me think of collage: I've recently begun trying things out in collage again. I think there has to be a combination of forms to express these ideas.  Territory:  I'm a female walking alone.  It's dark already.  Having just wandered around London, on my own, at night, in the dark, my blase attitude to this has crystallised into hypervigilance.  It changes the space - the time of day, the language of the space, subtext of threat that is rational and known in the urban environment compared to the rural threats of the supernatural, magical where there's more space (semiotic) for the imagination. Owl: Echo sound.  Echo location to

Walk No.27

Route: Plymouth Train Station to PCA Duration: 15 Mins Time of Day: Morning Tarmac:  The crust of the earth made from tarmac.  I see under the skin where the roadworks have excavated.  The layers of stuff.... Strata.  Man made. Topography: This shape that hugs the surface.  The horizontality.  The way it changes as you near the spot you thought you could grasp in your vision.  How might the topography look as a drawn thing.  Topology, the mobius strip etc.... Plateau: A plateau is a safe resting place when climbing.  I'm plateauing now but it doesn't feel safe. All I can see is the next mountain face I have to navigate... Steps:  There are perfect steps (just near the station) where each one is at the right distance and height to take one step at a time, perfect.  Then there are the ones just in the university campus where I use two feet on one step meaning I have an uneven rhythm going up or down them.  It's hugely dissatisfying. The same foot is used to reach fo
