Travel & Spatial Design - the visual language of healing is a memoir.
I feel fortunate to have had tools at my fingertips: an ability to write about place, an understanding of the power of travel to heal, and a deep appreciation for architecture and spatial design.
It is never a matter of travel being disconnected from life; as travellers we have a life that ticks away alongside our travel experiences and is enhanced and tempered by them. This book is an integration of travel memoir with stories about people and place, and my own personal journey of healing from loss and illness.
Travel can be transformative!
Spatial Design is everybody’s business!
Imagination is powerful!
Armchair travelling is liberating!
Imagining architecture can expand the mind and create new neural pathways!
Public space cannot be surrendered to commerce or defined for us!
Sense of place grows organically from people’s relationship to landscape, engagement with building shelter, births, deaths & time passing.
Community is about compassion and shared ritual.
Line, form, shape, pattern, colour & form are design elements that we can come to enjoy and play with.
Drawing is part of the ancient art of mark making and, as such, connects us to Self.
Art is essential to humanity.
Architecture is not solely the province of architects.
Grief and loss are part of the human story as are recovery, healing & hope.
