deep mapping the Roman north
2002 –
A new project in the north of England.

R esearching Roman frontiers.

Some themes were explored in a course Iran with Jen Trimble, Spring 2003 – >>Edges of empire.

A basic premise of all my projects in deep mapping and site reporting is that spatial and temporal coordinates are neither neutral nor primary, but indeterminate. There are close links between the projects and site specific art (see my work with Mike Pearson and Cliff McLucas, artsitic directors of the site specific theatre company >>Brith Gof).
