Well its nearly the end of my time at Walsall College, I have been here for my foundation year, the HNC and now finishing my HND, this blog will be the one that follows me to the end of the term. During the last brief we looked into home and displacement following on from that I intend to continue my research into nests, cocoons and similar living. I do have a desire to live alone as crazy as it would probably send me, but have a space to call my own where I could hide from the world, wrapped up and safe. Not practicle and maybe do able but this is part of the research. I am going to look at how we used to live, I am very interested in cave dwellings, when I was a child I went to see a Native American settlement called Peublo which was homes carved into the landscape, living with nature within the earth, homes that are dug into the earth using the natural warmth of the ground or tree houses, nest like up with the birds.
So onward....
I went to see Taos pueblo in New Mexico which was fab. Link below to google images of it.
