Images
Here are some of the images I saw when we went to the Peak District for our Richard Long retreat. The most important element and the idea that interested me the most was how we try to control nature either from the use of mass consumption and consumerism or in general.
Here are some of the pictures highlighting how we control nature:
When walking around the site it was strange to see these various signage around the manor because with it being in the wild and being one with nature, it takes away the freedom and is trying to control the environment.
One of the main points that I did realize was the further away from the manor house, the less signs I saw trying to control the environment. But, on the other hand, the way the trees are positioned in a field and paths made to walk is still an insight into humans trying to control the environment we live in.
This is very similar to consumerism as we are taking over nature to build masses of houses and shops, we forget about nature.
Also as humans we worry about too many things in life and we think we need to rush and plan our lives out where as in nature it travels at its own pace.
I am going to print these off large and see if it communicates with the other pieces of art that I have made!
