Body of Work 2 13th November 2019
Weather- cloudy with sunny periods
I repeated the linear ex-colliery railway line walk carrying the previously collected 30 pieces of rubbish. I set up a washing line between two trees on the old mine site. I repositioned it after surveying it through the camera. I pegged 15 pieces of rubbish onto the line as they came out of the bag, spacing evenly, not worrying too much about type or colour.

Re-working the previous rubbish circle
I think the re-worked image works better because the landscape is more interesting and the lighting is better. I think the rubbish needs sunlight to give to a new lease of light - maybe its a metaphor for re-contextualising it and giving it a renewed energy. I'm wondering if finding interesting shapes in the land and following the shape of the rubbish might work.
