A creature that hides and “withdraws into its shell,” is preparing a “way out.” This is true of the entire scale of metaphors, from the resurrection of a man in his grave, to the sudden outburst of one who has long been silent. If we remain at the heart of the image under consideration, we have the impression that, by staying in the motionlessness of its shell, the creature is preparing temporal explosions, not to say whirlwinds, of being #GastonBachelard #poeticsofspace #introspection #sculpture #ritualsthatfeellikehome #clay #madrid https://www.instagram.com/p/CmzOciLsL7-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries, especially those spaces that comprise what we call ‘home’, according to French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. In his seminal book “The Poetics of Space”, which was published in French in 1957 and translated into English in 1964, Bachelard takes readers on a lyrical journey, examining the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories, from cellars and attics, to drawers, chests, and wardrobes, to nooks and corners. The book’s focus on the emotional response to architecture, both in life and in literary works, has been inspiring philosophers, architects, writers, and psychologists ever since it came out, while Bachelard’s stirring, mysterious imagery has been encouraging readers to stop seeing ordinary spaces in ordinary ways. . .

Blue tulips

Flowers of hope

Lying on her grave

She waited for too long

Waited for too long

For you to come back.

sheep’s clothes

be: a D student in high school college drop out; overdosed on cop outs; dreadlocks grew out got threw out-- the carcinization out the bucket takes a metric ton of fuck it; they’ll pull your down-- with a grip like Doomfist--

at its zenith unity is about discord, not obedience; white supremacy is a symptom-- the ingnorance is an ingredient;

spoil the cane save the child-- young and wild; bestial; enflamed; if you’re going to build a straw man give it a brain--

after the red hats came things were never the same; or like more of the same; rock and roll music backdrop uncle sam’s finger guns goin bang

kush; envelopes pushed; crush some dreams and put a pinch in; I’m a pawn mid en-passant towards the lynchpin; peace pipe spliffed swapping war stories with crazy outcomes and all the best intentions; they thought I was a monkey-- I proved them right when I threw the wrench in their diabolical schemes-- yacht dreams-- master plan notched somewhere in between the the question marks and the profit. aw shit.

The house has been a recurring space this month, present across the Southern Gothic literature that I have explored thus far, and it is no less pivotal in 'Their Eyes...' The narrative is framed equally by Janie and by Nanny's house. Janie's journey is circular, and the chapters of her life can be defined by the buildings at their centre. There are too many to discuss here (I tried & I can't fit it all in), so I'll explore the various houses and homes more thoroughly on the blog (tomorrow 🤞), but 'til then: 🤔: If you've read the novel, which was your favourite section and home of Janie's life? If you've not, which is your favourite fictional house? 🕷 ☝️Don't Forget 📖The Readalong: Week 3📖 Exploring the the impact of the Civil War in 'A Rose for Emily', by William Faulkner (1930).

A response to space

An element of this module was to respond to certain themes. The theme I chose to explore was ‘Space’. Having already thought about my project and understanding the type of environment I would be photographing in I decided to explore an area of similar environment.

I chose to photograph within Dartmoor National Park. This is an area dense with trees and wildlife. I had the intention of shooting in the golden winter light. The surrounding and textures resemble the Cornish landscape and I felt this would prepare me for when I shoot my project. 

I explored the space and photographed a variety of shots, both portraits and landscapes. I also toyed with the idea of visual ambiguity, this is an area in which I had considered engaging with for my project. Mainly inspired by Gregory Halpern and his works Zzyzx and Confederate Moons. 

I wanted to convey emotion and feeling within these images purely through lighting and not the subject of the images. This is mainly due to not planning too much of what I was going to shoot, photographing sporadically and also having no set narrative of the space. 

I photographed what I was drawn to and lighting conditions/scenes that moved me. This was a useful practice as it also highlighted some difficulties that I may encounter when shooting my project. This includes the images appearing extremely sharp due to the harsh lighting conditions and reflections of the ice that blanketed the area. 

Whilst photographing I wanted to engage my brain a little more and work on my sequencing/storytelling skills. I began creating a rough narrative of feeling which was very interesting to explore and something I seldom do. I wanted to create a collection of coherent images that weren’t a series of random images spliced together in an attempt to ‘say something’. I was working intuitively and instinctively. 

A quote by Henry David Thoreau that has resonated with me and stuck with me since the moment I read it: “I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” This sentence emphasises the mystical energy that surrounds the woods, the mediative and contemplative mindset that is enforced when surrounded by nature. I felt connected to the area, being encapsulated by these tall trees and nature, natural pockets of golden light bleeding through the canopy and casting upon my surroundings all came together with a sense of calm. After walking around these woods for a few hours I really felt like my photographic approach and personal philosophy was altered slightly for the better. 

A few months ago I read Gaston Bachelard’s ‘Poetics of Space’. Since reading this book my outlook on place and space has changed drastically. Everything has meaning, everything is a photograph, and there is so much more to our surroundings. There are many different elements to consider when photographing space. It can be empty spaces, industrial spaces, wooded areas, crowded streets, or even your bedroom. What is important is to find the qualities that are present in each of these areas, which portray a sense of feeling and truth within the space. It is an extremely daunting and somewhat difficult task to produce a visual representation of the word ‘space’. A word typically associated with a ‘lack of things’ but after this experience I found ‘space’ to be a philosophical interpretation that differs between everyone.

Semester break: Experiment 2.5 Poetics of a space

Dominant in stance, mammoth in size, I enter its grounds like an ant on an elephant, But its skin was transparent, I could see how it functioned, The circulation of escalators, The flow of people, The placement of furnishings, Its habitat reciprocated, The circulation of fountains, The flow of people  The placement of trees, A harmonious relationship settled within the city. 

Whilst in Australia I visited Darling Harbour in Sydney for dinner when I came across this huge building that was the international convention and entertainment centre. It immediately struck me due to its size, modern appearance and integration of technology. The Chinese garden and walkway by such a modern complex had been developed to synchronise the vibes of the huge building and they ended up reflecting each other really nicely.
