FORELAND – A Walk We Took
A youth project exploring Sherborne Footpaths.
-
Foreland set out to walk and explore footpaths and rights of way in and around Sherborne with local young people and to use the experience of walking as a means of making observations and artwork. Artist Joe Stevens led both groups, one group of year 12 Media students from the Gryphon school, who used photographs and observations from their walk to create their own maps; and a group from the Rendezvous in Sherborne who walked together and made sound recordings, took photographs and made textual records as well as drawings of their route as they remembered it afterwards. Joe tracked the second of the two walks with a GPS device which enabled the route, photographs from the walk, and accompanying audio files to be uploaded onto the web and linked to google earth.
