I was selected to join Rural Idyll II group residency and show at Little Dodenash Farm, Suffolk in 2011.
For me the two week residency meant being on site every day to walk the boundary line of the farm. I mapped my observations. Sketched. Made audio recordings and took countless photographs.
Ideas run through the years like connective tissue and inspiration comes from many places when developing work…these natural ‘cats cradles’ below…
…and a series of farm gates on Dodenash Farm…
…lead to installation work on site, in the form of Harp (below), children’s swings, pins and cord, H2.4m x W6m x D1.9m…
…and Goliath (below), Ash wood and copper leaf, H1.2m x W1m x D1.4m…
…and a series of strung sculpture below. The ‘cats cradle’ theme was further developed at The Garden Cafe Installation in 2019.
