In a project like ours, a rest day mid-way tends to morph into a relaxed way to explore the themes of our work. Gary & Sarah's last morning before the train revisited the coastal path where the traces of wave, wind & human are clearly evident. Nina's arrival gave us the opportunity to re-trace steps & extend followed-paths in new directions, seeing new things. We also introduced Nina to the spaces, & her perspective immediately cast fresh light on materials & approaches - setting things up nicely for diving into our remaining 4 days.
A brief summary of explorations so far: Light traces [cyanotypes, shadow tracing, reflection, refraction] Time traces [historical layers of usage & design, diurnal & tidal shifts] Material traces [human, animal, wind, wave, sun, fire processes] Sonic traces [human, animal, material, musical analogue, musical digital - & absences of sound] Smell, taste & haptic traces [cooking, mineral, textural, action] Text traces [erasure, engravure, printing, writing, asemic writing] Reactional traces [interaction between live mark-making & sound making] Sounds: Nina's impromptu instrument building from buoy fragments & shells here Sound of fisherman's harbour refrigeration unit here Comments are closed.
