Place and particularities.

The second project focuses on the artist's sense of place- My sense of place.

A sense of place could be described as either physical place as in location or a feeling/ perception held by somebody.
For example, my place at work is an assistant, therefore giving me special ways to act. Another sense of place could be within a family, yet giving a person another way to act.
A sense of place, as far as the feelings go could be related to a e person's feelings of attachment and belonging..

This article in the age "A sense of place" discusses the notion of a sense of place...
"But connection to place is vital to our sense of identity - both personal and communal." the article discusses memorial spaces, and how they matter, and that the location of them is improtant.

one paragraph =
"Go to the suburb where you grew up (it's probably not very far from where you live now, stamping grounds being what they are) and walk the footpaths, the shops where you strolled and loitered as a teenager; the park where you learned to kick a football, fly a kite or trained your dog to fetch; the backyard where you took your first catch or learned to skip, climb, hide or whistle. Not significant? Go and have a look."
stomping grounds would give an important sense of place.
other places the article mention is cathedrals, churches, chapels, courts and concert halls. all places that would ignite a sense of place, even if one doesnt feel like they belong to the place.
it would be a place where anyone would recognise and 'be in touch with'.
