Field Walking Exhibition

Field Walking Exhibition

Exhibition opening at the Corunium Museum in Cirencester (19 Sept – 13 Oct) which involves creative walking.

An exhibition of fieldwalking finds from Abbey Home Farm and artwork inspired by the landscape.
Corinium Museum is delighted to host a selection of exhibits from Will Chester-Master’s museum of farm finds. Displayed alongside art inspired by walking the fields on the farm .
Prehistoric worked flints come up in the plough soils, along with shards of Roman pottery. Way back, this was Abbey land, is crossed by Roman roads, a disused 19th century railway line and was blasted through by a dual carriageway. Will is one of the custodians of a farm which carries traces of many thousands of years of history.

Artists Ruth Broadbent, Andy Freeman, Valerie Coffin Price and Caroline Morris have taken as their inspiration the layers of history on Abbey Home Farm land and created work to compliment the artefacts.

oversupinate

People who jog, run, and sprint have their share of problems that slow-moving people can barely comprehend. One is oversupination. As the OED defines it, to oversupinate is “To run or walk so that the weight falls upon the outer sides of the feet to a greater extent than is necessary, desirable, etc.” A 1990 Runner’s World article gets to the crux of the problem: “It’s hard to ascertain exactly what percentage of the running population oversupinates, but it’s a fraction of the people who think they do.” Credits to Mark Peters.
