Mobile Settlement
Is a set of portable objects in a carrier bag. The objects comprise of three
corner poles, three lines, a field and modular architectural sheets that slot
into each other to make three structures.
In an action, I used the objects to discover forestry workers. My works can be
seen alongside the forestry workers work in a slide projection showing Mobile
Settlement in action.
The aim was to show an element of daily routine in the industrial plant that is Grizedae Forest - Whilst showingthe properties of the Mobile Settlement sculpture.
Mobile Settlement was preceded by 6 Mooring Posts,
a structure of 6 posts to imposed a rectangle onto the forest. The Mooring
Posts came in a small red vehicle and were implement in the forest, prior
to the action.
The work was developed during a Grizedale residency 1998.
