The journey centres around Dorset and its mysterious myths and legends using them as a narrative tool to explore different landscape intervations in various shapes and forms.
“Game of stones”, South of Dorset
A Dorset legend about two giant brothers, Frost and Thaw, whose battle over the land and weather ends with their stones scattered across the Valley of Stones in south Dorset.
The myth frames the two brothers as dual opposing forces—good and evil, strength and weakness.
GRINDER
Building on the ideas of invisible landscape shifts taken from the myth, the designed tool works like a grinder: two stones collide as it rotates, and the dust from the fixed chalk stone reveals the negative space of that collision.
As the tool moves across the ground, it starts to act as a marking device, tracing and recording the territory that has been altered.
Shrine Construction, Isle of Portland
The construction of the place for gathering and celebration was built with an old japanese method “ishibadate” where the base of the building is made out of the pre-set stones on which the construction. have to be fitted and rest upon rather than the usual concreate foundation.
