Border Images
What is the nature of public and private space? What is the relationship between these two different kinds of spaces? Can we tell where one space ends and another begins?
These pictures document the border between Creston High School and the Kent Country Club. The border is marked by a fence, which in different places is covered in vines, runs through the shade of trees, or is the only visible thing separating schoolyard grass from Country Club grass.
For much of the border, the area around the fence (on the club as well as the town side) is unkempt -- the ground is unweeded, or is covered in pine needles and trash. The fence is a hurricane fencing, which is impertinent and allows a person to see everything on both sides without crossing the line.
The existence of a border tells us that there is something significant about the two spaces, that the two spaces are in fact different. You can walk the fence line and see the shysical presence of a border that is otherwise social. Does the nature of borders tell us anything about the relationship between realms of "towne" and "club"?
