Exploration - Cape Cornwall - Brisons Veor Residency



In June I was part of a Residency at Brisons Veor


which enabled me to spend a week


experiencing the beautiful wildflowers


the intriguing coastline and changing weathers



with artist Susan Williams MRBS
photographers Gareth Williams 
and Andrew Rushton



We walked separately



in pairs




 or as a quartet


We brought our own works in 
progress to continue or pursue.



We enjoyed convivial company



and I had the most intense period 
of making and installing work.



Just a week, but what a week.

I continued to work on the pre-felts made during the course with Jeannette Appleton and developed a piece inspired by the Oblique Strategies cards by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt. I had no definite plan other than to let my surrounding sing to me and my experiences guide me, I was swept along by a tremendous energy drawn both from my surroundings and my companions. 

It was a jewel-like and infinitely precious.

An album of inspirations and experiments which informed the work 
can be found here.
