Week 5: Live journal entry – JONKERSHOEK PEAKS & VALLEYS

In preparation for a body of work for this unit, I plan to summit each peak and decent down every valley in the Jonkershoek mountain range situated near my home.

I managed to get topographic and ortho maps of these mountains which will help me to plan and serve as inspiration as I plan each peak and valley mission. I look forward to what I will see and discover as I go wandering into my local outer landscape and witness/observe how this affects my inner landscape. Everything is a process. It is process that I respect the most and will try to capture and document during this project.
