ABOUT THE WORK

Flatlands

Whilst confined to my home, I dream of alternate lives in which I am still walking outdoors. Images from walks I have done in the past float across the backdrop of the 3-room flat that I used to stay in, like portals into possible alternate realities.

PROCESS / BEHIND THE SCENES

The source material for "Flatlands" comes from my capital ring walk. I decided to walk the supposedly 78 mile Capital Ring over 6 consecutive days. I say "supposedly", for Debbie does not go "as the crow flies" but rather haphazardly in a squiggly line all over the map, and according to other mapping devices it seems I may have walked more than 150 miles in total. Rather than starting with the traditional route as listed in TFL's maps and David Sharp's guide book to the Capital Ring, I decided to start and end my journey at Stoke Newington's Rochester Castle.
