Blackwater Valley Path I Love You

Why it has meaning?  where I went to disappear, so no one knew where I was, safety, mystical adventures, space to breathe
When did you first encounter it?  2020 from the Frimley entrance. It was the first realisation that you can just go outside and explore the landscape you live next to
When was the last time you returned to it? The night my ex reported me as a missing person for not answering the phone for 2 hours. I was there, exactly where I said I’d always be if he couldn’t find me
how has it manifested in your practice? currently, the urge to be outside to record works in the landscape or performances. The need to connect with the land you’re given. 

“Grace shared the importance of the blackwater valley path, and the significance of the relationship between internal, psychic space and the landscapes we inhabit.”

The conversations and relationships I’ve had with the animals in there have been deeply intimate and personal and now their images are token representations of the limitlessness of the love/god/divine that occurred in those interactions.

Which questions are these images asking?
Is the order of appearance of the animals meaningful to the viewer? How so?

How many layers of opportunity for viewers to draw meaning from is possible whilst still satisfying the need to convey personal meaning/experience/knowledge of godly experience?

Am I trying to force the experience of God on viewers?

Does this matter?

The Sublime runs parallel to God and everyone makes work about that?

Am I trying to force MY experience of God on viewers?

Yes probably but isn't that the point?

If I felt God* and good why wouldn't I want to package that up into a portable tangible visual thing in the hope that a viewer might experience what I did from the source?

*incase it wasn't obvious I always mean God removed from institution, God as truth not God as a masculine presence to be feared
