On 5th-6th July I worked once again with artists Carole Miles and Kate Dyer to follow up our Refractal project.
Refractal was an installation and walk we created in the Kings Wood in Corby in March. Four months on, we turned up at NNContemporary in Northampton to continue exploring some of the ideas, this time in an indoor setting in NN's Project Space.
The Project Space is lovely and we were pleased with our results. We had some great visitors too, who interacted with the work; people played with our shiny pebbles, our mirrors and the light, wore our blindfolds and listened to the recording of the woodlands that I had made, and talked about the value of woodlands, the senses and personal connections with places.
We have developed some new ideas as a result of this short project so we hope to bring more woodland exploration to you soon!
Looks wonderful Jo. Wish I could see it in situ.
ReplyDeleteThanks! One of the things I really enjoyed was the sounds of the street outside mixing with the recorded woodland sounds we were playing in the space - something you had to be there to appreciate.
DeleteA striking juxtaposition of content and context Jo; pretty impressive given that "We didn't know exactly what we would do"! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Geoffsky! Part of the fun was making it up as we went along, just responding to the space.
