Ladies of the Lakes, case two: Margaret Hogg
This is the story of The Wasdale Lady in the Lake case of 1984.
There have been many scenarios put forward over the years regarding this story, some of which are very conflicting. With the sources available to me, I've tried my best to piece together this story, and bring you a version of events that is as accurate as possible.
The story of the killing of Margaret Hogg has some startling similarities with the case of Carol Park, which I covered in September. What's more amazing is that the events began to unfold only three months after Carol Park vanished.

walkman/lake
'walkman/lake' (2001) documents a performance on Coniston Water in the Lake District. Coniston Water is the location of Donald Campbell's fatal attempt to break the world water speed record in his boat the Bluebird.
The performance consists of a walkman playing Richard Strauss's 'Metamorphosen' being rowed out into the middle of Coniston Water and lowered into the lake. The sound of the walkman is fed directly into the camera filming the performance, documenting the walkman's demise as water seeps into its workings.
