outside, to clear my head (2018- ) is an ongoing series of drawings where Chodzko brings into relation different states of human attention to ‘being in place’. One is towards the uniqueness of geographical place (using the geocoding system what3words: ‘Every 3 metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words. Used for e-commerce and delivery, navigation, emergencies and more’.) Another is towards the surreal imagery the what3words inevitably catalyses in the mind. A third is of a flow within place, leaking between memory, association, past and present, body interior with external landscape, the aerial with the subterranean.
