finding a way – with Jen Hawthorn

Spent a wonderful day, in the Garage feeling our way with clay.  Jen Hawthorn is a ceramic artist whose work is both performative and object orientated.

I wanted to work with Jen because she is also working intuitively with clay,  exploring the relationship between herself and this active and generative material. I wanted to learn from someone experienced in ceramics and performative work to ‘let go’ some more.

get down and dirty

13th Oct:  ‘Get down and dirty’ – a workshop I led at The Garage, for researchers and academics to experience thinking with the body and what that might mean. Organized with Professor Louise Steel & Associate Professor Lesel Dawson, to brainstorm ways we could collaborate on a future funded project.

Thanks to Jude Allen of https://soilvoices.org, one of the participants of the workshop, for making this video .

Residency: Garw Valley, South Wales

 

 

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.
