Tennants Can Circle
I made this as a bit of a nod to Mr. Richard Long mentioned previously.
What I made in Studio
After thinking about the similarities between my photographs of the area, I found I took most of them because the colour of the subject stood out against the monotone of the landscape. I collected tennents cans from the pile I discovered earlier and spray painted boxes to match the colours of the bags I had seen. 
Abandoned Building
I saw this building but as I was by myself, and it was getting into the late hours of the day, I chose to try to get someone to come with me on a later day. I took a picture of the entrance to illustrate how scary it looked from the outside. I would half expect some sort of half rat half human to be lingering inside.

Artist Research: Richard Long
Richard Long became known while still in art school for his piece (above) ‘A Line Made by Walking’. Through photographs of simple gestures made on epic walking trips, he became closely associated with the emerging art form ‘Land Art’. He later created sculptural geometric shapes, especially circles, created from the earthy materials of where he had gone to and wall paintings using the hand and mud.

Pink and White Striped Bags: A Love Affair
I have an affinity for these pink and white plastic bags. Even as rubbish they have a great burst of colour. This is a recording of their presence around the area.

The house pictured below reminded me of the Maryhill homes but completely separated from the reality of the street. I see this photo as an interesting focus on the home and it’s meaning to the individual, how removed it is from the rest of reality.
(Archdiocese of Glasgow
“Originally established by Saint Kentigern, the diocese of Glasgow became important in the 12th century. It was organized by King David I of Scotland and John, Bishop of Glasgow. The bishopric became one of the largest and wealthiest in the Kingdom of Scotland, bringing wealth and status to the town.” (Wiki)
