A path that marks the human impact on landscape, that bears no correlation to the provided concrete pathways, a path that is chosen by people walking in their environment.
Despite the clearly accessible concrete paths provided by the council,Desire Paths/lines have been created.
(Embankment Road, Plymouth)
(Western Approach, Plymouth)
(Oreston, Plymouth)
There are hundreds of these paths in and around Plymouth (the city I am currently living in.) I am slowly collecting photographic evidence of this phenomenon. The story of the human desire fascinates me, these paths are a semi permanent trace of our existence, our desires, our impact. My intention is to expand on this initial fascination, for the moment a visual diary, eventually becoming an independent artistic statement.
