Crossed Paths – Sheep
Crossed Paths – Sheep
The Crossed Paths – Sheep project was supported by the Pwllpeiran Upland Research Centre, Aberystwyth University and a major Art Council of Wales Award and was comprised of over 20 field visits to the Cambrian mountains; collecting over 4,000 minutes of footage from 15 GoPro cameras attached to my body during my 8 crawling performances over 5 1/2 miles, resulting in a solo exhibition at the Oriel Davies gallery, Newtown, Wales. The exhibition presented a multi- screen video and audio installation and a contextual exhibition. The project included audio recordings of conversations with scientists and artists, an events series, a 104-page publication, a documentary film, 12 commissioned responses in photography, music, poetry, drawing and 2 essays, including Simon Whiteheads essay Crawling not Walking and Iliyana Nedkova’s essay Cultural Environmentalism of Hope published in the independent ecoart journal Edgework. The project was funded by an Arts Council of Wales Creative Professional Grant.
