Tapestry of the Unseen conceptualises place-based reviews, a collaborative and engaging process that Ryder has been developing in the past few years across various Scottish landscapes. The approach is simultaneously strategic and people-centred - it meets in the middle to create a methodology for establishing place potential. Here, place is perceived not as a collection of individual elements, but as a tapestry of hidden interdependencies. Driven by local identity, context, and climate, place reviews take a holistic overview of a location, involving stakeholders and the local community, becoming provocations for catalytic change. Through tapping into unrealised assets, often hidden in unseen corners or sometimes in plain sight, place reviews become a framework for creating synergy and unlocking potential. These studies focus on the conditions of the 'fringe' - the edge of the land, aiming to unravel existing %u2018threads%u2019 of potential in an otherwise ruptured place. Cartography has been used as a tool to represent these multi-layered connections, woven through the existing fabric. The 'notch' is a place of transformational change, creating a ripple effect which stimulates reactionary outcomes across the landscape. The 'darn' becomes an important asset to the place, acting as a catalyst in the process of mending the ruptured. The wider connections are represented through 'seams', sewing the individual pieces of fabric together, to create a more resilient place. The tapestry envisions a future where symbiotic relationships weave together seamlessly, fostering harmony and inspiring transformative change.
