These photos are part of a series of images based on the idea of control (The images are printed on a small scale and formed into booklets so their "owner" can carry them around in their pocket and thus have ultimate control over them) They were taken with a Nikon D50 in January 2007 and are printed at 2.5" by 3.5" they are connected together in book form using sellotape.
Here I am exploring the idea of how the human race believes it can control the earth through the scale of the work. I think it's interesting how each image in the book changes slightly from the last. This one moves from a very light image through to a lighter one at the end.
I find this image interesting to look at as it can mean so many things, particuarly graveyard scenes. People are constantly fighting over the earth, but all the fighting really causes is mass death and destruction.
People love the idea of being able to make their mark on the landscape and to be able to say "I was here". A gravestone is the final marker of someones existence, a reminder to others of the person who was there before. It helps the grieving family by giving them closure and giving them an object to centre their grief around.
This graveyard in North London/Hertfordshire really fascinated me; it was huge and we got lost for a little while. There are gravestones of all shapes and sizes and a massive array of languages are written on them, it almost felt mystical to be there.
These scarecrows were on display in front of Mertz Cabin at the Faust Historic Village in Chesterfield, MO.
