katty tells us about her role on the project. “I’ve been documenting and publishing the Snake Eagle Thinking Path and Karoo Geoglyphs story via social media and the Site_Specific website. Through photography, videography and writing I shared details about our trips down to Matjiesfontein, introducing each new team member to our online audience. We like to extend our projects from the physical into the virtual realm, pulling closer an international audience who are invested and interested in what we do. To date I’ve also edited three short clips on the project, two of which are online, and I am in the process of making a short ‘how we did it’ documentary on the project.”

katty’s involvement in the Site_Specific land art collective has grown out of a long journey walked with old friends, and building working relationships that have spanned the design, education and visual arts arena. It has everything to do with wanting to make an impact on how we treat each other and nature.
