To undertake this project, we have had to understand the temporality of space and how there is a dialogue between a person in a landscape and the landscape itself. For example, one of the places we visited in our preliminary exploratory to understand the concept of temporality was the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. In the same way that we prune the landscape to its pristine tidiness, the landscape compels us to feel a certain way and us to travel in certain directions.
The temporality of this location is created by incorporating the memories and feelings people have had in war or about people who have served in war. Without this incorporation, the National Memorial Arboretum is a merely a point on a map, a simple location. By introducing the personal aspect, temporality is introduced and the National Memorial Arboretum becomes a place, a point in time, as well as space. This concept was further explored in the Peak District by visiting the monuments of Arbor Low and the Nine Ladies Stone Circle.
