Re. 'Lagoonscapes' - previous post ...

It was the title of the journal in the previous post that caught my attention:

'Lagoonscapes' made me think of the periplus, used by ancient explorers - sailors to 'map' coastlines and their features.

I also realised that people living with:
  • more advanced stage dementias
  • reduced mobility / balance
  • partial sightedness
  • stroke
- may negotiate their immediate surroundings (living room ...) using 'furniture walking'.

The first explorers did likewise by analogy?


Is a lagoon - a resting place/space - an offering of respite (care)?

In 2018 the Oceania exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts

- highlighted knowledge of the peoples who could read the currents, winds - perhaps in as differentiated manner similar to the Inuit and their environment and cultural beliefs?
