This orchard is one of the last orchards in a town that used to be renowned for them. It was a place of beauty, fertility, light and cool shade. It was place to observe the seasons and to watch apricots, plums, apples, ripening on the trees. It was a place where local children played and enjoyed routine connections to nature. Now, it is in transition as orchard gives way to a residential village for retirees.
My intention in this doctoral project, Lines of Sight, is to photograph places undergoing topographical change and also in places where restorative or regenerative strategies are emerging in response to a rapidly changing climate - places of hope, places that show ways of living with the world. I am particularly interested in food producing sites that are being lost and the potential impacts of such loss on our food security, and our capacity for resilience.
By making a commitment to an extended and imaginative meditation in a representative group of places, recording the end of days in some, and new days in others, I hope this project will serve as a witness, archive and sentinel.
