Metroland
My project is a 'visual poem'; an attempt to convey the feelings of the poems of John Betjeman's 'Metroland'. The term 'Metroland' was coined by the marketing department of the Metropolitan railway in the 1920s and aimed to entice city businessmen into the then rural idylls of the counties north west of London. The project take the viewer neither on an information based tour, nor does it make any socio-political comment on the contrasting fortunes of neighbours of the likes of St John's Wood and Neasden. Rather it endeavours to evoke the quotidian spirit of the suburbs and shires, the duality inherent in the pursuit of betterment and to lend the viewer a conceptual sense of this space.
