Forward Footing Update

Jo Dacombe and I have been working on our Landscape Intervention Kits as part of our Forward Footing project. Solar dying has taken place in Jo's garden, screen printing has taken place in The Green Patch polytunnels and outside The Mollie, sewing has taken over my living room and kits have been put together in assorted locations! The original design has been simplified and the first walk has taken place, good to be making and walking - see more here and check out the Upcoming Events Page for dates of  our walks. More updates coming soon!

Forward Footing

I began the year recovering from flu but was determined to start as I mean to go on so began making drawings to create screen prints to add to Jo's Solar Prints on the fabric for the Miles and Dacombe Forward Footing Landscape kits.

all the images were made from things seen on walks we have taken together and combine our love of urban / rural exploration

However as this image shows. my hands were wiling I still had a head full of flue so it took 4 attempts to get the points of the compass in the tight place.

During Late summer and autumn 2015 we conducted test walks with groups in different parts of the county and In February we will be walking out with completed kits and our first group on Monday 2nd February, 10am-12. walking from  at King Edward Park, Sneinton.
