Out of Chaos

Ive been busy, trying out this and that train of thought , going in different directions, its an organic process ,going with the flow of ideas that emerge from activity to activity... seemingly chaotic too. Time with Context project is passing quickly ,already into the third week. I continue to think about the relationship between particular words , Other/Mother Proactive /Provocative Erotic/Eratic Warrior/Worrier.
News of another Neolithic site next to Stonehenge has refocused my earlier ideas of incorporating Semacode into the landscape of the south west . I have a deep affection for Avebury , to walk around the stones is to connect with the past and the land. Connections of time andplace ... I was born and grew up very close to Hardians Wall, the ditch or vallum of the wallextended into the playing fields ofmy school. We walked along and played on the wall it was part of ourdaily lives and not part of amuseum. Places like Avebury ,Uffington and Westbury still feel like places where the Place, Past and Present can co-exist .

The images I have uploaded are of codes placed in Avebury and Bath, either as darkened or charred grass,or as chalk . I have also worked on the idea of creating a 3D coded structure, and have created what a 3D code might look like in situ.
At this point in time I am not particularly thinking about the content of the information contained within the code in these images . Although increasingly I do like the idea of making a statement that is universal and simple such as "Please Help" embedded into the landscape.
