Today was another history class and then working on an assignment for it based on mapping. I’m pretty much done and you can see it a little in the one photo, though once I’m completely done I hope to take a better photo of it. I was able to develop the large format shots I took on aran last night when we got back so today I did a preliminary scan of them all. They aren’t perfect but I love the feel of them. I think the ruggedness of the place really comes through. Tomorrow we’ll be traveling around the coast a bit to see the Richard Long circle that is hidden out in the wilderness, but right now its starting to get dark and rainy looking, and I think that may be the forecast for tomorrow, so we could get a little wet. (good thing I’ve got my rain gear).
I think the mapping assignment is a great place to start for my process since a lot of my work is a contemplation of a specific place. Right now I feel that I’ve been spending so much time out in the Burren alone and I have unrestrained access to it I think I need to use that much more. Long turned his walks into art through documentation and specific actions. I’m not real sure what to do for this yet, but I need to do some real thinking and searching, it seems right up my alley.
