ABSTRACT

The Maharee Peninsula and the South Wall have strong material presences. This chapter is an investigation of the relevance of landscape as a concept through which the South Wall and the Maharees can be contemporaneously presented. The South Wall is a musical instrument. There's a very strong comparison with being on the South Wall and being on a boat. Both Maharees and the South Wall have a very particular configuration of land meeting sea. Another thing that's nice on the South Wall is just the length of the shadows. The intense experience of weather on Maharees and the South Wall is fully bound into their topographical horizontality. The tactile experience of weather on Maharees and the South Wall is fully bound into the expanse of the visible. The chapter focuses on ideas and attitudes to Maharees and the South Wall that could be considered as different articulations of landscape.
