After the first feedback session, I reflected on what I had created and came to some conclusions.
I had figured out what the site meant to me. Now I would focus on the healing process.
The struggle of growth thought worked well with my models that experimented with coal. This also translated into the idea that the struggle really derives from the compression of the coal and the spoil being piled on top.
In order to keep the place running you need time and care. Putting in plants that take extra time to grow. This impact of time works with the landscape both in the present and future. 'This projection of change into the future is important to the landscape and architecture'
Determining the kind of changes that could occur in the land processes is essentially the treatment of the site.
The treatment may not be immediately visible when vegetation is added. As time proceeds, the scar will cover up but will still remain in the minds of the miners.
This week I have now begun to treat the rocks with different 'caps' (plasters).
As everything is becoming quite clinical, I began to think of what situations actually 'feel pleasant' in a medical or clinical process... not many situations. The best part of a medical process is the treatment being finished and one is happy with the outcome.
A sad situation
-------> (equates to journey of medical process e.g. injections. This journey could involve one being not aware of the treatment or one sees the whole process)
-------> One is in a happy state.
