Acava with Kite, research and writing ....

    Visited Acava with Kite to take some sculpures and talk about her residency - She has a really great space and we played with some curating options. I discussed my research into plinths and sculptures from foundation and how the Veiled Venus moved between floor level and different coloured plinths and locations. Kite introduced me to Dan and we all chatted about croK. art in Stoke and opportunities going forward.                           

Took some pics for kites documentation and playing with the space.

 

Added some information to research -I was filling in a Research Questions, aims and Objective and methodology sheet,  building on my relationship with the witch. 

Research question

• I am using the witch archetype as an anchor point for my research into the female cultural experience. 
• Part of this experience, reflects on the widening disconnection with nature following persecution of women* based on perceived dangerous relationships with nature.

Aims

• My aim is to gain a greater understanding of the witch from an intersectional feminist perspective. 
• This intention has also helped me to understand my own relationship with the witch.

Objectives

• Use the witch as an anchor point for research and tap into all areas that allow a 360 view of the witch. 
• Relate this understanding of the witch to my own experiences
• Balance this with my own innate need to balance contemporary life with a connection to nature -through the simple act of spending time in green spaces., including my garden.
• Carry out practice based research, by playing, testing and exploring mediums to create art.
