In today’s episode I chat to Tim Bird a comic book artist from South London, who’s work focuses on exploring the history, mythology and memories contained within our landscape.
I discuss with Tim why he chose to combine psychogeographical ideas and comic books, what his process is when it comes to creating his work, alongside some of his influences.
We also take a deeper look into his comic books, with a particular focus on his work The Great North Wood and we delve into the legends and myths surrounding it as a place.

Ep 7: Comic Books, Psychogeography & The Great North Wood ft. Tim Bird

Do you ever go somewhere, and have a strong emotional response to it, such as happiness, nostalgia or fear? Have you ever wondered why we look for meaning in places and develop stories or legends about them over time? Well these behaviours are known as a sense of place.

In general, a sense of place describes our relationship with places, expressed through the tangible and intangible aspects of human life: emotions, imagination, sound, touch, smell, and personal experiences.

Sense of place can be a niche yet broad term, so the aim of this podcast is to bring together the variety of disciplines & creative individuals that try to understand and explore a sense of place!
