Paths, Space Invaders March 2012.

When walking the world, rarely we navigate away from the beaten track. The architects of the towns and cities sculpt how we move throughout. We keep in mind the safest root to our destination, however, the constant hustle and bustle of the human life often takes over. We cross the road near the crossings, we walk on the busy road to pass other pedestrians, and we go places we deem as unsafe, just to be on time. My current work looks at psycho-geography and architectural theory, in particular how people move through certain spaces. The piece you see marks the paths of pedestrians in a small part of Newcastle. Each colour is taken from outside the same window at a different time, one at 10am, 12pm and one at 2pm on a mild March day. Each path is of an individual who is only subconsciously aware of the architect’s ambition for the flow of the streets.
