Many peregrinations through the same small space accompanied by drawings, photographs and insights. Taking three months of daily walks, the inspiration has been the poetic nature of a semi-wild patch of land.

Many peregrinations through the same small space where recognising change became a daily habit and creating an understanding of the minutiae of plant, animal and insect life. Some drawings were details of small areas, others an overall accompaniment to the process of walking where walking was the art, the tool and the inspiration.

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).
