This week I worked on a precedent analysis where I situate my work amongst other writers and designers. My thesis is situated in between two types of works. The first being work written and produced around the breakdown of the concept of nature, wilderness and landscape. Many artists and writers have produced work in this realm, but for the scope of my thesis, I will focus on William Cronon’s, text “The Trouble with Wilderness,” and Arnold Berlant’s text “The Aesthetics of Environment.” The second being work that poses questions and considerations of space. For this, I will focus on George Perec’s text, “Species of Spaces and other Pieces,” Cornelius A. Van Peursen’s text, “The Horizon,” Robert Irwin's work and Fred Sandback’s installations. I created visuals that describe the relationship to my work below.
