Peripatetic Residency, February - May 2012.

Curated by Squid & Tabernacle as part of 'The Geography of the Artist's Studio'.

I am interested in shaping a walk by passing it through the minds of artists in order to create a route which traverses myriad sites and is in flux between real space and imaginary space. I will respond to the situations and places I discover en route and will invite responses from artists, which will further guide my walk. Artists involved so far are: Helene Kazan, David Snoo Wilson, Sally Madge, Claire Blundell Jones, Gabriel Birch, George Major, Liane Lang, Fritha Jenkins.

The walk will be presented as a publication and a walking event.

Some images of the project so far below:

Electrocuted frogs killed on their passage between the pond and the field. Whitton, Shropshire - image sent to George Major

George Major sent me a text recounting his search for the river Quaggy in South London. I will retrace the Quaggy or perhaps transpose his descriptions onto a different but related location. I sent George's text to Fritha Jenkins as a starting point for an amphibious car we will be making together as part of the project.

David Snoo Wilson responded by telling me about the sound mirrors in Denge, Kent. See here. I will research them further and may visit.
