My Copse

An environment to influence creative flow.

This space has grown with the creative works that have occurred here.

The history of these past experiences are encapsulated within the space, part of the environments identity.

Currently my copse holds physical responses to what ‘has been done’, alongside the intentions of future participants. By having, and then holding a positive experience in a place, behaviours become embedded within the environment, a ‘lieux de memoire.’ “Lieux de memoire-moments of history torn away from the movement of history, then returned; no longer quite life, not yet death, like shells on the shore when the sea of living memory has receded.” (Nora.P 1989). These spaces can be revisited to be used as an enabling space, to evoke thoughts and mindful presence, conducive to maintaining healthy mental health.
