This project reframes heritage as a living and evolving network of relationships, rather than a fixed record of the human past.

Through two parallel mappings of the same landscape along the Dava Way, the project presents two ways of reading place: one traces its more-than-human participants and ecological relationships, while the other uses detailed sensory mapping and stylised drawings to reveal layers of human history, memory and experience embedded within the same landscape.

The maps also extend beyond their physical surface. By scanning elements within the mapping, visitors can activate a series of stylised moving-image works that reveal the more-than-human participants inhabiting and shaping the landscape. The act of scanning becomes a way of moving between visible and less-visible layers of the site—allowing presences that are often overlooked within conventional heritage narratives to emerge through another visual language.

By placing human histories and more-than-human lives within the same field of observation, the project questions what is selected, represented and recognised as heritage—and what remains unseen. It proposes heritage not simply as the preservation of the past, but as an ongoing relationship between human histories, non-human lives, material processes and the landscape itself.
