Materiality

I recently spent the day in the fair town of Lewes, that well known medieval humdrum on a hill. Here I was able to delight my heart in documenting key elements of one of my favourite areas: the South Downs. This area is soon to become a national park that is proposed to include Lewes as one of its key towns, exhibiting the past faces of this hill country in a very picturesque manner (http://www.lewes.gov.uk/environment/3548.htm). What I spent my time doing was putting together a material and colour pallete that is typical of this area of the South Downs at its best. I really loved spending my time this way - not only was I able to learn more about hard landscaping detail, but I was able to see how the detailing has changed over time and the patterns that these changes have made.
