A Vernacular Landscape Under The Moon




"Studies, observations and interventions. A new body of work exploring a rural vernacular landscape under moonlight."
Brutalist IX



2017, The Elephant and Swimming Baths, Coventry - Granville Lewis / Arthur Ling and Michael McLellan
"Brutalist" is a series of abstract architectural studies based on instinctive, contemplative and explorative responses to spaces both positive and negative in dimensions. Veering away from contextual and classical viewpoints of architecture, the project instead evolves from visual play in details. The palette of concrete and its interaction with light and shadow is embraced within the encompassing atmospheric surroundings. Subtle diffusion sits alongside deep black. The ideals of the materials are amplified upon first experience and this still moment is carefully observed in the technical camera. Lines and contours merge and separate as distances are skewed and distilled to flat, graphical landscapes. Unreachable spaces are explored and focused upon, backgrounds and foregrounds gain equal or opposite significance, scale and perspective are distorted. Through this lengthy contemplation of the environment and structure the series of images aims to give a new, personal depiction of the ageing architecture and offer new perspectives of these historically important buildings.
The work is on-going.
Hind Land



Hind Land is a collaboration between photographers Nick Rochowski and Tim Bowditch, surveying the pedestrian walkways beneath London’s Orbital M25 motorway.
Since it’s completion 25 years ago the M25 has dramatically changed the landscape of the surrounding area and come to define the boundary of the city.
Utilising online mapping tools to locate points at which one can pass underneath the 188.3km structure by foot, they are fascinated by the voids left by the motorway as it carves through the landscape. The road divides the countryside in two, leaving a visible and audible rip in the environment above the ground, and a no-man's land beneath.
Together they survey these voids at night, using an Achromatic Digital Back capable of creating wide spectrum black and white images. This kind of technology is often used for aerial topographic studies, as it is able to record the visible as well as the infrared and ultraviolet parts of the spectrum. By photographing at night with long exposures they give the camera a completely blank canvas, devoid of contrast. Due to the way light is recorded with such technology, hidden details become apparent and the landscape appears almost lunar in quality.
The work is presented large scale that adapts to different sites, using print or projection as a final medium. As part of an installation, the project is presented with an immersive sound recording made by the artist Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau who has collaborated throughout.


Hind Land Map is a collaborative project between artists Alison Moffett, Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau, Nick Rochowski and Tim Bowdtich.

Synopsis

Hind Land is a visual and audio survey of a hidden, contrasting environment beneath London's orbital M25. Restricted to access voids which are only accessible via foot, a structured working process was developed and recorded in order to carry out the first stages of the project. The publication brings together four artists who travelled and wandered surfaces, collecting information first hand and also from the resulting works themselves. The effecting layers of space, texture and scale are experienced, recorded and visualised through different mediums, presented here within a formal OS map layout.
