What EWE Want!

Food For Thoughts;

For a full week, I have transformed my studio space at the farm into a Thought Kitchen.
I am inviting you to come and feed in your ideas, thoughts, aspirations, envies...
Why do we do Art? Why is it important? How can it transform our daily lives? Could our answers help reshape the future of our relationship with the environment, with nature and the wild, with our needs, with each others?

You can feed your thoughts on this blog, by email or by coming to the farm and interact with the mind map and the rest of the kitchen.

Also discover the progress of my next project as I am foraging colours!









Keep an eye on progress during the week!

See you soon.

A Thousand Sheep, the making!

Published on  23 Jul 2013 A Conversation with the Landscape Our relationship with the land, throughout human history, has been governed by two vital needs; finding food and defending ourselves. The response through farming and the military defence has progressively reshaped the British landscape and its ecology. I created an art residency at the River Bourne Community Farm, Salisbury, UK, and was awarded an Arts Council England Grant to develop a large installation made from sheep fleece dyed with madder plants. "A Thousand Sheep" was an open invitation to the public to get involved in making a large piece of contemporary artwork from natural resources. The process was to provide the trigger for conversations and reflection on our impact on the environment and shape of the landscape. Through a commitment to using traditional processes and materials, the piece challenged the limits of sustainable living in a contemporary context. The project has seen over 15000 visitors
