Otterburn Range

-
One of my first body prints was made up near Otterburn in North Northumberland. So I was keen to go back and make a print. The locations are remote compared to the coastal spots. 

 I've been there so many times before and we got completely lost.

 We had driven to Otterburn, but had meant to got to Harbottle, which is on  the far the edge of the Otterburn range, another 14 miles or so away.

We watching our weather window blow away into wild and damp cold autumn Northumberland, 

 We re-routed over the moor, passing child soldiers in Hazmat masks with their guns hung out at the edge of the moor.

 The roads where slow. Exposure anxiety returns hoping there is enough light, is it too cold, will there be too many people, have we come all this way for no returns.

We stopped on the tops.. it was an amazing spot. We never would have come this way.

 We made out print here.
And the guns started up.

This area is under threat of open cast mining.  The location was so public and so hidden, Horse riders, families  dog walkers On one side of this reed bed we make this print,  on the other side, a couple sit on a bench in matching fleeces.   Geese are flying in from the artic and although the sun is warm there is an edge to the air and you can feel the turn in the season and the edge of the light shifts to wards that golden wash, Here I think of the animal wife. In folklore the husband steals her coat while she rests this forces her to stay on land  and have his children, in the tail of the Selkie she cant return to the sea, with the Swan she can not fly until her children return her coat to her and she leaves. The swan tale reached even to Japan, its a far traveled tale. I like the term animal wife. I feel like both of us are animal wives with our fleeces and our skins.  I like the marshy ground I like that it...
