Looking down, into a small valley of homes, from here you see six or seven types of houses, repeating, in different order, different colour, with additions and in some cases subtractions, that more than anything else shows their common DNA.
Early this morning went back again to the gardens. I can’t seem to stop this project! The sense of order and growing disorder (entropy) is right there on the face of this image.
Often my interest is in the transition of space (how does space become place?). These images are often found in the liminal edges of a space where the landscape transitions, sometimes from urban to suburban, sometime urban to woodland or forest. Here the garden, as place, bleeds into the woodland space, with a lone gardener working on transforming the land, slowly, but constantly, encroaching on another space.
