Song of the Path walkshop
Workshop Leaders: Rosie Montford’s exhibition ‘Song of the Path’ is on at Gallery 44AD. Her practice explores the dialogue between walking and drawing, seeking out landscapes from which she can physically combine disciplines to work across printmaking, drawing and bookmaking. Vicky Hunter is a Visiting Research Fellow in dance and environmental humanities at Bath Spa University and formerly Professor of Site Dance at the University of Chichester. Her site-specific dance research examines the body’s engagement with space and place through considering bodily, spatial and kinetic engagements with environments. Vicky has produced a number of site dance performance works and a book publication Site, Dance and Body: Movement, Materials and Corporeal Engagement (2021). How to book: This event is FREE but places are limited

This work was made while I was in residence at Playa Artist Residency in Oregon. It is located on the edge of a lake that dries up every summer due to commercial agriculture irrigation. I was very intrigued by this new landscape’s texture, which was crunchy on top, but also slightly squishy do to the deep mud just below the surface. This work is a juxtaposition of appealing textures, versus a strained relationship due to human interference via commercial-scale agriculture nearby.
