The harshness of the changing weather created a real and palpable connection to the elements. Though drawing with stone and charcoal in windy and cold conditions was sometimes painful on my hands it highlighted the physicality of the materials. It generated a real and physical response a sense of consciousness of being alive, belonging, being in the right place at the right time. <br />
These experiences are important, they justify the need for us as individuals to engage with the real as opposed to the hyper real we thirst for in today's society.<br />
Although dwelling within these landscapes as a sole individual has a sense anticipation, by being and interacting with a place i become part of it; i belong there.<br />
If we are to rely on the hyper world as a way of communication how are we able to respond to each other and the environment we inhabit if we constantly find ourselves glued to a flat digital screen and keyboard?<br />
There will one day be a society that has never known life before the Internet and digital medium. Imagine a society that relies on a mouse and flat screen to draw or a blog or Facebook to communicate and express themselves, how will we be able to generate responses from each other and the environment then?<br />
<br />
An extract from the essay 'Are Physicality and the Interaction of society lost through Technology?'<br />
By Carol Sowden <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em>For example
take the networking site Facebook. This ‘social’ site exploits our need to
belong and entices us into believing that as individuals the site is the place
we should socialise and keep in touch. Socializing in what sense? Are the
people you class as your friends not the people you see on a regular basis? Networking
sites such as Facebook influence today’s society into believing that if you
want to belong then you’ve got to get with it. The Internet is a medium that
distorts the definition of socialising, generating a false sense of belonging. How
are we to discover who we are as individuals if we do not connect in a physical
way with society and the world around us? (Amin A, 2011) Henri Lefebvre’s
recollection of Paris in bygone days may seem a distant unrelated example, but
it demonstrates the importance of basic physical interaction between individuals;
‘There was unquestionably certain narrowness in this everyday life; distant
things, foreigners, the global horizon went unremarked. Gesture, social
customs, rituals of courtesy and urbanity, the way in which women were
addressed, the courteousness which concealed a slight disdain, the manner of
greeting people-raising one’s hat-all this remained traditional, and might seem
antiquated. But what a sense of security!’ (pg. 8) These small but significant
physical gestures of recognition allow individuals to feel a sense of worth;
they are acknowledgements that endorse a genuine presence within society.</em></span></span><br />

These bolders are situated in a small area of the land at Horticap. Not easily accessible they are nestled in a part of the site not usually encountered. I use circular movements with the mark maker to create patterns on the stone. The stone is very hard and does not flake or break like the sandstone used at Brimham and Almias. The mark maker to my surprise generates a strong smell of an ancient organic petrol like odour! I am unsure why; is it because the stone contains materials from another time?!!!</div>

I return once more to Almias Cliff. There is a real pull for me to this place; a short distance to travel to but feels like being in another world! It is 6am best time of the day. The sun is just rising and frozen snow still remains on the ground from a few days ago. It is freezing literally!!<br />

I continue to mark make with the sandstone. The rough texture of the stone is more heightened by the freezing temperature. It hurts my hand to draw. This physicality is raw and bring me closer to the environment and its materiality.<br />

I find some charcoaled wood from a fire once lit secretly round the back of the rock! An alternative mark making tool that forms a contrast to the lighter tones of sandstone. This material feels smooth and so much more fluid than the coarse sandstone. It leaves dark dramatic marks. </div>

The environment is perfect for the growth of this moss it thrives on boggy water based land. The rain that runs off the hills is ideal for its survival and prevalence. The texture of the moss is spongy and its low growing habit and shallow roots make it easy to tear from the ground. It is gorgeous matter to hold in your hands! The encasing aspect interests me. Once the moss has grown over mounds of stone it is then no longer viewed, it is enveloped into the land, only a round form is visible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I realize that the encased stones can be lifted out of the ground leaving a hollow imprint generated from the moss itself. These hollow forms are left where the stones once were, a remnant of their presence. My intervention has planted my own presence within this particular landscape. These cavities appear as a dark fixture against the green environment and visually appear like footprints. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Today I spent some time at Almias Cliff; a small outcrop of rocks which are perched within the landscape and have far reaching views across landscape facing Nidderdale. Although a milder day when up on this exposed area the wind was strong and it felt a lot colder! Its good to be outside! The far reaching views highlight very much the mark of humanity:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Some of these structures on the landscape have been viewed as a negative intrusion. The scale of this wide reaching environment is so huge that really the golf balls (as the satellite dishes are know as in the area!) and the wind turbines add a character the views, a contrast against the organic landscape. They are however huge when up close to the structures. The wind turbines have an immense aura of power yet they appear graceful and a part of the natural flow of the elements. The satellite golf balls appear alien in comparison. There is also the undercurrent of the actual reason they are there, who and what are they actually listening in on?!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It is now my turn to make a mark! There were hollowed out textures within the rock itself. They are too perfect in symmetry not be manmade, but compared to the modern day graffiti the marks are obviously of some age, smooth in texture having been worn down by the elements. How long ago did man make these marks? Using a piece of sandstone debris I drew within these forms; shading and following the rounded curve of the recesses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How strange it is to be making these marks on top of manmade marks from a far distant past! The content of the sandstone is lighter than the weathered surround producing the natural tone of the main element at its core; sand. It felt a natural process and not in any way an intrusion on the cliff itself, organic matter against organic matter. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Throughout my degree I have consistently felt restricted within a studio environment. The confines of an artificial environment such as the studio space has affected the proportions of my work. For me being hemmed in generates feelings of frustration; the need to get out and experience the natural elements be it sun, rain, snow, wind is an intense desire.These aspects combined with the ethos of being connected to the land and the experience of feeling rooted and belonging within the world itself will form the basis of my research. I plan to drive to certain areas of Nidderdale and spend time within rural locations walking, inhabiting, dwelling and physically making my mark on the spaces I occupy.</span><br />
