Layers

Continuation of my thoughts about the layered nature of the coastal skyline that dominates my site (or lat least the southerly aspect). I'm interested in the churning of the sky, feeding the waves that hit the land.  The sky is akin to a continuous piece of string, continuously fraying and re-knotting itself, like a net over the land.

 
Saw a load of fishing nets at the harbour made me think the temporal nature of the coastal panorama further.

This photo montage is a visual representation of the coastal sky (fishing nets) and the strata of the ground (the steel cable). The gap is the horizon.
  
Naturally, these landscape layers are horizontal. Interesting things happen where the layer blend, or merge. This changes or perception of the landscape and reorganises the space. For example, on a misty or stormy day the horizon almost disappears as the sky and sea merge. This blending of layers square the panorama, alter our or perception of space. This concepts should be explored.

 
I'm interested in challenging the horizontal layers, vertical - introducing interventions that cut through the panorama and serve to amplify the space. 

Connecting the sky to the land is something I want to do within my project… connecting the people to the ephemeral and amplifying the coastal experience. Countering the horizontal nature of the site with vertical interventions may be a way of organising the space...? As in the push - pull concept...?
