Notes are shorter field observations from studying, walking, reading, visiting museums, and looking closely at places, objects and everyday life.
Some begin with a street, a suburb, a museum or a walk. Others begin with a book, a plant, a display, a fragment or a small material trace. Together, they form the working archive behind Rong’s Field Notes.
I use Place Notes for streets, suburbs, museums, walks and heritage places; Material Notes for objects, fragments, plants, textures and traces; and Reading Notes for books, catalogues and ideas that change how I look at place.
