That might well be the case with those four color ballpoint pens. That’s how I remember them from my school days anyway, the only thing that was fun 😋  #BICyourday #journaling #artjournaling #lourmarin #provence #luberon #sketchbook #traveljournal
The cultural artefact During walks near Oppède-l The cultural artefact  During walks near Oppède-le-Vieux, but equally in other areas between the Luberon and the Monts de Vaucluse, it is not inconceivable that you will find stones with inscriptions or sculpted into some rough shape.  These artefacts provide information about the culture of their creators and users. I wondered what I could do with it in my visual research and deep mapping project.  I found the answer in a quote I noted reading John Berger: "The drawing goes on every day. It is that rare thing that gives you a chance of very close identification with something, or somebody, who is not you ."  On the second slide, you can see part of the stroll in a typical Provencal landscape that must not have looked so different in the 12th century. The sketches are of artefacts found nearby. They are small and sort of a record of the experience for later use.  #deepmapping #provence #luberon #oppedelevieux #johnberger #hybriddrawing #sketchdaily

A passage (Animation on second slide) It would be A passage
(Animation on second slide)  It would be disrespectful to compare lay brothers and stonecutters with wild boars. But as they say, where there is a will, there is a way. And they certainly had that in common.
The Abbey of Sénanque (12th-13th C.) took about 60 years to build. The distance from the stone quarry in Oppède-le-Vieux to the yard on the river Sénancole is approximately 17km on foot. What once started as a forest path must have quickly grown into a decent road. Along the way, the landscape most certainly was thoroughly reformed by the continuous transport of stones.
I'm just speculating when I see the breach in the dry stone wall where wild boars, coming from the mountain, have made a passage to look for water in the valley during dry periods.
Once the goal is in mind, everyone chooses the easiest and shortest route. No matter what.
"Time is change; we measure its passage by how things alter." ~ Nadine Gordimer, writer, Nobel Prize for literature 1991

On the practical side, this video is a self-running animation of an otherwise static presentation. Trying to get a hang of this #hybriddrawing style while illustrating short stories, thoughts, findings and what else, during my #deepmapping project.  Hope you like it. Comments are welcome!  #luberon #provence #oppedelevieux #drystonewall
Searching for the soul & spirit of place Dry ston Searching for the soul & spirit of place  Dry stone walls are the oldest man built structures you can find in the Luberon. They now serve as a record of crucial moments in the history of this region. Quite a few are still intact today and if you go for a walk you will witness some extraordinary phenomena. Like this oak that worked its way through the wall to finally swallow the stones almost completely. (video on the last slide)  The most amazing part is the fact that no man has touched this process for a very long time.  #deepmap #hybriddrawings #deepmapping #mapmaking #luberoncoeurdeprovence #oppedelevieux #spiritofplace #provence #drystonewall #map #mapillustrator #luberon
Collecting interesting material for a project goes Collecting interesting material for a project goes very fast. Despite proper preparations, my laptop has become a mess. Videos, audio, photos, texts and drawings are everywhere. Unrelated. Another problem is the presentation of the material. Without templates, I won't be able to keep this project clear and engaging for an audience. Transforming my notes into a multimedia publication is more difficult than first thought. And the more apps I use, the more complex the handling becomes. I will have to simplify and make difficult choices. Otherwise, technology and management will take over. It could even put the goal of this project aside. Letting go of control and letting things run their course is a better approach, but I'm afraid I'm not made that way.  Apps I'm currently using in this project: Devonthink, Keynote, Davinci Resolve, Notes, Hemingwayapp, Affinity suite, Filmic Pro, VSCO, LumaFX, iMovie. There's more, and that's a problem.  Paper and pencil, what a relief!  #deepmap #geopoetics #journaling #luberoncoeurdeprovence #provence #oppedelevieux #sketchoftheday #sketchnotes #deepmapping #carrieredeprovence
Looking for an alternative way to use my otherwise Looking for an alternative way to use my otherwise recreational sketches on location in a larger whole, I came across the term ‘deep mapping’ a few years ago. Iain Biggs' work in particular stuck in my memory. The fact that it concerns research of a specific location, over the longer term and with all possible analog and digital means that can be used, inspired me.  Thanks to a private assignment I can now put some of the techniques of deep mapping into practice. While my journal will remain an important part of the tools I will be using, this account will have a slightly different approach & content as I would like to document the progress of this experiment in spatial narratives here. For example, one of the requirements of deep mapping is the use of time-based pieces such as video and audio. Something I haven't used too often, but will do now.  In concrete terms, it concerns a visual investigation of an event from the 12th century at 3 locations:
- the abbey of Sénanque (Gordes),
- a quarry near our village Oppède-le-Vieux, 
- a farm about halfway between the two places.  The Cistercian monks built the abbey with stones from a quarry some 12 km away, as the crow flies, on the north flank of the Luberon mountain. The farm was an important stop and was run by lay brothers. The 3 locations still exist today and are partially open to the public.  I’m not sure where this experiment will lead me, but I hope you tag along!

A deep map approach can help towards a fuller understanding of the impact of place on society through the many overlapping layers of interaction across time.

“The deep map recognises the slippery identity of place, and seeks to visualise the multiple identities that go towards constructing the human experience of place.” (Anon 2015 – Geospatial Humanities website  http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lakesdeepmap/the-project/gis-deep-mapping/  3
The term deep map references the gathering and selection of mixed materials during embodied field and archival research developed by Mike Pearson, Michael Shanks and Clifford McLucas after being inspired by William Least Heat-Moon’s deep map of Chase County, Kansas.
