Lost,Found [lost...?] for A:L:L

Step 18 - East Road - 6th September dérive.

The first evidence bag (one of ten) which comprises of

a photo from that step, along with objects within the bag

from the same step, which can be partly seen through the

tracing paper, and in part seen directly through a 

small window in the bag face. 

A map just finished taken from my GPS track of the Cambridge dérive completed for my Lost Found [lost...?] project. 

4 photos from the main Cambridge 'derive' N.Gear Sept 2013

The main 'dérive' walk around the streets of Cambridge has just been completed with both text and objects having been gathered over 9264 steps taken over 2 hours and twenty minutes, in the pouring rain.
My 'installation' piece 'Lost, found [lost...?] will emerge from the material collected ready for the Art:Language:Location event starting on the 17th of October. 

The work looks to respond to the value(s) we attribute to the words and objects we ‘lose’ in the landscape, what happens when we ‘find’ them again, and what have we have ‘lost’ of ourselves in the process?

My first derive of the streets of Cambridge has been completed and some interesting words and associations have already been emerging for my A:L:L project titled 'Lost, found [lost...]'
See the link on the right of this page to keep up with the event taking place all round Cambridge in October.

Revisiting my notes from the On Walking conference; here are some of my quote highlights:

'The Precipice' video installation N.Gear 2013

'The Precipice' video installation currently showing at the Djanogly Gallery Nottingham until Tues 25th June.
A work considering moments of the forward journey and the same points of the return journey [running together], of being 'on the edge' and our relationship with the urban and rural landscape.
