Blue Sky Urban Stories: Middle Earth: this is a new research project, which places itself within Birmingham, documenting childhood memories in its exploration of the outer landscape that surrounds the metropolis. Using key routes from the city's centre, Kandhola is exploring the surrounding countryside, photographing the landscape on large format negatives and placing this back into the land, metamorphosing the process in its exploration of identity and a place of his birth. The burial of the negative into the land is intended to confront us with nature. The natural process of decomposition is used as a metaphor in discussing ideas of ritual, resurrection, death and memory. The decay and detritus of the process has its origins and methodologies from his early works.
