The essence of splace

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis is a beginning toward working with the qualities we find in the places we love - those essences which make space place. Why? In order to learn, we must experience these directly - they change in us - and then use them. When? Now, before, after. How? We assemble our understanding through optional associations and multiple readings (not one linear path!): open thinking with analogies to language-poetry; place description thru film, photographs, drawings; generative directions from diagrams to collages; projective drawings-extension of place. Where? Halibut Point, Rockport. Who? surely me and you.
