Bridge to the Stars
This is part one of what will be a long term project
documenting the Sutherland Spaceport and its
relationship with the local community of Melness. I plan
to make observations of how this relationship will change
over time as the spaceport is constructed and becomes
operational. I will also be studying the anthropogenic
effects of the surrounding environment as time evolves.
I have started by contacting and photographing some
of the main protagonists from the Melness Crofters’
Estate and have gradually been building relationships
with the local community. I hope that this project will be a
collaborative one and that it will serve as a record for the
Melness community and future generations to come.
