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.

WILD PROJECTS #7 – HARD CORE – Test 4 - Balance and Connection

The twig bundles are slipped into the hole in the table.

Hard cores wrapped 

with soft bindings.

With support it can be possible

to find balance and connection

space to think, make, do, disappear.

WILD PROJECTS Curated by Artist and Sudborough Green Lodge Coordinator, Sophie Cullinan, Wild Projects are opportunities for artists to use the Lodge and the space around it, to meet, experiment with new ideas and to learn from each other’s skills, knowledge and experience. Events take place four times a year.
