Statement
I would like to look at how ideas of tangible and intangible histories and cultural 'matierals' can be considered, interrogated, and reimagined, through strategies other than typical museum and/or collection-related, authoritative positions.
I'm thinking laterally about the idea of architecture. As a starting point I've done some pencil drawings that are based on Walking Tours of German cities, traced from Lonely Planet guide books. The idea of being led is something I'm interested in; perhaps being directed through space, or being led more generally with movement itself becoming a form of architecture.

Waitangi Park is an urban renewal project in Wellington which has successfully re-introduced a wetland ecosystem. This includes the introduction of plant life and water, and the releasing of eels, fish and other living organisms to attract bird life. I feel like this stirring of elements could also invoke aspects of local mythology. Perhaps to intertwine these tangible elements with a virtual knowledge base.
Revision 2
To start to think about culture more locally and investigate the relationship between its tangible and intangible notions/manifestations.
