folk taxonomy: A ‘folk taxonomy’ is – amongst other things - a tool of local knowledge, a subjective catalogue of names to describe places and things in relation to one another. Common to all cultures, the ‘folk taxonomy’ is a constantly evolving organisational system designed and developed by the inhabitants of a particular landscape in order to navigate that landscape; to ensure survival. Scaled according to circumstances: time and intention, season and climate, the ‘folk taxonomy’ belies the geometric veil of Metric and Imperial in favour of embodied experience – ‘a hair’s breadth’, an ‘arm’s reach’. folk taxonomy is a digital environment, an ongoing accumulation of anecdotal ‘walks’- images and texts – realised through an incremental/incomplete circumnavigation of the shores of Loch Etive, a sea loch in Northern Argyll on the West Coast of Scotland.
