I’m Petra - meaning rock, stone. Earth sign - Capricorn. From a father who always had his hands in the soil. I am interested in hiraeth, interested in the land. Interested in its gravitational pull even when we have long left the land that we love. Interested in what effect the ground beneath us has on us when we’re above it.

I am drawn to the trees that root into the land and the buildings that are rooted in with their own tendrils of steel. I am drawn to the power of place. The electric charge of the ground beneath us and the ways in which we play with it, whether knowingly or not.

In 2010 I began a Masters in Urban Studies, prompted by the discovery of Rem Koolhaus’ Delirious New York that posits New York “as the arena for the terminal stage of western civilisation”. Prompted by my intrigue at imagining what was held in the ground of what had been before. What pockets of information still resided in the sediment. In the patina, the residue. I was gripped by ‘deep topography’ but had no name for it yet.

In 2012 I started a business, KERB, that was all about the power of the concrete of the city to act as a platform, leveller and stage for the street food made and sold on it, and the street life that emerged from this.

In 2014 I spent 3 months in New Orleans, plunged into the city’s second line culture and was struck by the emphasis placed on footwork - on the feet’s connection and ease with the ground beneath, denoting connection to place and a currency that can only be felt. It denotes an ease with your body and the stomping out of your feelings, ownership, energy, joy on your own ground, making it sacred.

The ground is where it’s at. It’s where the energy transfers from underneath us , through our bodies, directing us, charging us, making us feel HOME.

Didn't have any luck charity-shop-book-hunting today in Oxford, though did spot some Barbara Jones in Blackwell's £££ - and then THOM YORKE walked across our path! Surely that must be good luck? My dad happened to be taking candid photos as we were walking along and had unintentionally caught him in the frame before I'd spotted him. Embarrassingly the sighting caused me to momentarily raise my arm and point like a moron, though I did recover my composure a fraction of a second later. 👉🌟 . #barbarajones #charityshop #bookhunting #pavementpounding https://www.instagram.com/p/B8150PuHs8r/?igshid=1njg2u66u4vbb

Thankful for the opportunity to escape Metro Manila. To be able to ride my bike again and not feel fear. To breathe in fresh air and for a chance to reset. #mtblife #mtb #trail5 #29er #ridecannondale #cannondalemtb #cannondalebikes #ridedayriot #bikeviews #trailview #rhinohead #dropbarmountainbike #dropbarmtb #dropbarmountainbikes #eluuirdo #custombike #custommtb #gravelbike #pavementpounder #adventuremtb #adventurebike #adventurebybike #650bplus (at Dingalan, Aurora) https://www.instagram.com/p/CURK6oGB7Mw/?utm_medium=tumblr

We’ve got the nicest K5 Blaze you’ve ever seen. But it could be yours! For Sale ! Tell me an SUV that you can buy ‘new’ today that’s cooler than a fuel injected Blazer? You can’t. They’re all a buncha twinkie #pavementpounders . This thing can tow, Hunt, fish, camp, 4wheel, drive to work, get groceries, has solid axles, a real transfer case, and kids will think you’re cool. So will adults. Act Now. Call Dave! #Repost @hamiltonspeedshop ・・・ #1987 #chevy #k5 #blazer #4x4 #silverado #original #neverrestored #survivor #heartbeat #bowties #gm #chevrolet #america #usa #dreamer #muscletruck #classiccars #nofilter #forsale @hamiltonspeedshop #hamiltonspeedshop #2697516666 [email protected] (at Hamilton Speed Shop, LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_uFLBgCqb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yhhaazpcy4ob

uh- what do you mean 'it only takes one'? how much damage could one pavementpounder possibly do? are you imagining an ex-red will somehow work their way to a large-scale policy setting position? they're not THAT smart

It is much better to over-estimate reds than to under-estimate them.

And I could cause significant damage to my precinct, and I’m only a step above pavement-pounding. I wouldn’t do that, but I could. And I’m not deliberately coming up with ways to bring it down as my main goal!
