Road side

A get away journey by car offers a fleeting moment of another failed utopia. A cottage conjures its self up as a romantic symbol of a bygone age only to relapse into a modular new build with a faux Tudor façade built to a Bankers specification. Possibly a second home that's certainly fallen short of the ideal. Merely it is perhaps a practical decision of commutability and affordability? The topology here is intended to represent a low lying agricultural area possibly an estuary on the fringes of heavy industry offers a fallacious rest bite. The water works suggests a release of invasive odours into the air which already seems contaminated by languid atmospheric dust. This idealised landscape is dissected by the thoroughfare of road, rail and air; nothing in this environment is left to its natural order. Every portion and aspect of the landscape is managed and unitised by mans intervention into a self interested support system. Rural escapism becomes a paradox and the obstructing road barrier is instrumental for this metaphor by limiting access into the picture plane, It also works on another level too where the barrier to the virtual world is wholly inaccessible to the real.
