Dry Stone Waller 

United Kingdom, 2013, 5min.

Filmed and recorded on location in Cumbria, Northern England. This project set out to explore the relationship between medium and subject. Taking as it’s starting point the traditional craft that still survives as the dominant method of construction in upland areas of Great Britain. This process and the landscape within which it exists was documented with 16mm film and analogue tape sound recording, in order to draw a parallel between content and medium, and in doing so examines the changing value that is attached to traditional crafts in the context of ever increasing availability of digital technology and mass produced materials.
