I began a visual diary to document my Arts Council funded project, but it soon became much more that. These pages, which I am still continuing, trace the unfolding of an embodied practice and the unexpected discoveries that emerge when materials and process take the lead.
23 – 30 July: Residency at Garw Valley, South Wales.
Invited artists: Gina Baum (ceramicist), Prerna Chandiramani (print maker) We spent a week absorbing the changes and what it is to be there, sharing experiences, stories, practices.
We found wild clay in a nearby farm and processed it; made land art; recorded our walking together on lino; collected evidence of exchange. Afterwards we spent a week in the Garage thinking about the residency, working with the clay and printing.
