Connemara Sculpture

Richard Long’s Connemara Sculpture (1971) was a site-specific arrangement of beach pebbles in Connemara. Made to weather naturally, it eventually disappeared, surviving now only through photographs, writings, and its lingering influence.

Kings Head revisited

We have stayed away from walking amongst the rocks on the coast this year due to the ongoing prevalence of the toxic micro algae bloom. We (Maya and I) did walk around to Kings Head when it was pretty clear of the algae bloom on a late afternoon walk. ...

Kingsmill Creek + Arkaroola reef

As it was mentioned in this earlier post we spent the afternoon of our last full day in the semi-arid mountainous landscape of the Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park walking in the Kingsmill Creek Gorge.  The creek is accessed from the road to the Paralina Hot Springs, which I haven’t been to. We had been to […]

Bararranna Gorge: deep time

Monday (July 25th) was the day of the Bararranna Gorge walk. We had walked the Bararraanna Gorge trail last year.

The bushwalking groups deem it to be moderately challenging (C+) and it is a popular […]

GPS, geo-poetic system

Geo-poetic system was a term coined by Lucy Frears during locative media art research (published 2017). The basis of geopoetics, a theory and practice developed by Scottish philosopher and poet Kenneth White, is to connect humans to the lines of the earth (White cited in McManus 2007: 183), or ‘what’s out there’ (Ingold 1993; 154; White 2005: 200; White 2006: 9). The contact White describes is often between the human mind and the earth, what he calls ‘landscape-mindscape’ (Legendre 2011: 121). Because of the embodied nature of locative media experiences using a smartphone in landscape for these walking art experiences using gps technologies Frears expanded this notion to being ‘landscape-mindscape-bodyscape’ (2017).
