The path through Manor Park leads towards the unknown

This painting of a path through Manor Park in Aldershot is one of an occasional series of ‘paths into the light’.

Paths offer promise, either of delight or darkness, even in this quotidian age. What will we see just over the hill, or around the corner? What other people – or animals – might take this path?

The path through Manor Park hints at the rural past

Here in Manor Park, all one is likely to encounter is a dog walker, or a pair of youths looking for a place to smoke a joint. This area was once a playing field and has been allowed to revert to some state of wildness.
