I want to walk the world. Pound the pavements. Mark out my territory wherever I go, checking the pulse, catching the spirit of place. Feeling those deep ripples and vibrations. I do not believe we are encouraged enough out of our heads and into connecting fully with our bodies and the ground beneath them.

It seems like the head is given precedence over all else in the west. That bodies are merely consigned to vehicular status, there to carry our overloaded, over-stressed heads around, whilst devolving into numbness under that weight and disconnection.

Bodies aren’t numb. They are there to collaborate with. To be listened to. To find the rhythm through. They are magical and powerful and it’s time to get back into them. 

I am on the prowl for those who are deep in this - musicians, dancers, growers, healers, gardeners, farmers, mycologists, earthworms...I wanna sink in. I wanna walk, connect to the ground, find the personality of place in this way and discover people who connect to it all in wild and unimagined ways.

This is a photograph that I captured whilst walking around London on my own. I didn’t really know where I was going but I was just walking around taking photographs for a while. I was hoping to find some art galleries and museums whilst on my journey. It was because I was lost when I arrived at London I started walking around aimlessly trying to find many places on my own. I am interested in Psychogeography and how places can cause you to behave and feel in different ways. 

Psychogeography was invented in 1955 by the Marxist theorist Guy Debord who suggested playful ways of navigating and exploring urban environments. Psychogeography was also inspired by the Nineteenth century poet and writer Charles Baudelaire’s concept of the ‘ flâneur’ which is french meaning to wander around aimlessly. Debord wanted an approach to architecture that was less functional and more open to exploration. It was during the 1990′s that Pyschogeography became more popular and gained popularity as artists and film makers began using Psychogeography to create works based on exploring locations by walking.

Through the exploration of urban environments it was then I was capable on examining the architecture and spaces around London as I walked around lost. Becoming inspired by the architecture seen around London, however at the same time feeling anxious of exploring the a big city on my own.Despite feeling a bit anxious I was capable of being able to take a few photographs which captures the main views and places I saw around London.

“ It's about a six-year project to make 100 of these humans. Each one is an archive of our culture, through our ripped-up media and matter, whether it's encyclopedias or dictionaries or magazines. But each one acts as a sort of an archive in the shape of a human, and they travel in groups of 20, 4, or 12 at a time. They're like cells -- they come together, they divide. And you kind of walk through them. It's taking me years. Each one is basically a 3,000-pound microscope slide with a human stuck inside. “

Chosen photographs from my series based on processes of Pati Solomona Tyrell - this series looks at the symbiotic relationship between the mundane and the personal, based on the work of Pati Solomona Tyrell. For this series, I wanted to use space and object to create a new environment that exists only within the photograph. Within the image exists two forms of familiarity to the artist - familiar space and familiar object. When the two are placed in a new frame (camera frame) what is created is just as unfamiliar as it is familiar. The objects seem to look bizarre almost, placed in this context. This series was heavily inspired by a simple phrase from one of the videos of Solomona Tyrell that we watched in class - “where do I stand in space in relation to my identity?”. I find that often space can distort identity, and feelings of comfort are often related to Psycogeography, in my own experience. I feel uncomfortable in certain spaces for reasons that I cannot describe, but have recently began to analyse. I believe subconsciously the body recognises objects and images of familiarity, and when they do not, the mind feels threatened. I also find this relates to spaces where an individuals identity, sexuality and expression is threatened. At least in my own experience. Objects to me also communicate certain acts. To me my teddy bear is an act of love - I remember my mother sleeping next to me as a child who suffered from chronic nightmares. My pan of eggs is a comfort - the act of cooking is very spiritual to me. Objects often play a part in creating a space, and I believe exploring these spaces opens a wider landscape of the psych which can be deeply explored, yet rarely understood.

Another Yunomi that will make its way to @theleachpottery this time I have gone for a more ‘glassy’ fluid version of the glaze. This is a very simple 50/50 mix of clay and ash. As there is less clay (than in the glaze in my previous two posts) it moves more and it also becomes lighter in colour (as there is less iron content) and more transparent. I like the way that glazes with higher ash content ‘toast’ the clay around the edges, it brings the clay to life in these areas. This glaze could be fine tuned with the addition of Feldspar and other ingredients but I am only really interested in using materials that I have gathered myself from specific areas where possible to give the work a specific context and narrative. #clay #wildclay #yunomi #cup #tea #glaze #ashglaze #homemade #handmade #wildglaze #shiny #green #transparent #footring #craft #theleachpottery #stives #cornwall #london #thebrockleypotter #josephludkin #ceramics #pottery #pottersofinstagram #digyourown #psycogeography #artistofinstagram (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGMUxnsjVEQ/?igshid=1hppmxown75au

I’m Petra - meaning rock, stone. Earth sign - Capricorn. From a father who always had his hands in the soil. I am interested in hiraeth, interested in the land. Interested in its gravitational pull even when we have long left the land that we love. Interested in what effect the ground beneath us has on us when we’re above it. 

I am drawn to the trees that root into the land and the buildings that are rooted in with their own tendrils of steel. I am drawn to the power of place. The electric charge of the ground beneath us and the ways in which we play with it, whether knowingly or not.

In 2010 I began a Masters in Urban Studies, prompted by the discovery of Rem Koolhaus’ Delirious New York that posits New York “as the arena for the terminal stage of western civilisation”. Prompted by my intrigue at imagining what was held in the ground of what had been before. What pockets of information still resided in the sediment. In the patina, the residue. I was gripped by ‘deep topography’ but had no name for it yet.

In 2012 I started a business, KERB, that was all about the power of the concrete of the city to act as a platform, leveller and stage for the street food made and sold on it, and the street life that emerged from this.

In 2014 I spent 3 months in New Orleans, plunged into the city’s second line culture and was struck by the emphasis placed on footwork - on the feet’s connection and ease with the ground beneath, denoting connection to place and a currency that can only be felt. It denotes an ease with your body and the stomping out of your feelings, ownership, energy, joy on your own ground, making it sacred.

The ground is where it’s at. It’s where the energy transfers from underneath us , through our bodies, directing us, charging us, making us feel HOME.
