Stories from Forgotten Space, is both real and elaborates on personal experience of given spaces within England. Predominately set in the former industrial heartlands of the areas constituting the former West Riding of Yorkshire, it extends into many other areas within the present day landscape of England. It takes a look at this country through the year leading up to the 2015 General Election. The project isn't averse to the rest of the UK; my journeys didn't make it into Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Using map making as an attempt to (re)engage with experiences of any given place, The Forgotten Space can be interpreted in 2 ways. 1: as an aid to remembering the facts and fictions, clear analyses and emotional garbage, destructive and constructive thoughts which constitute my truth within these journeys. At heart, is a desire to see it reflect/connect with how others react to what they see and experience within the spaces (although I admit to including many idiosyncrasies within the map notes). 2: as an attempt to see geographical space as something we do actually forget. Blanking out the banalities and ignoring injustices, careless to the class and gender-based injuries which play out in a sly manner on streets and in transport terminals. This socio-cultural habit is obscured as we pass through in our daily races, no doubt increasingly zoned-out with the aid of personalised technologies.
