Two pairs of socks

As a child I had to wash my socks each night. I only had two pairs, so I had one pair on and one pair drying over the bath each evening.

Loving being out in natural spaces. Appreciating Loving being out in natural spaces. Appreciating living at the gateway to the South Downs National Park and just down the road from the iconic coastguard cottages and Cuckmere valley at Exceat.

Reel shows images of landscape and textures. #textures #nature #sdnp #eastsussex #seaford #cuckmere #exceat #iconic #access #countryside #disabled #artist #landscape #artistresearch
Just under two years of making ceramics and lookin Just under two years of making ceramics and looking back through images of what I've made I can see a style that I just couldn't see before. These are a selection of ones with forest fringing elements. I think these are some of my favourite things to make. I have no idea of what I'm making when I start, only that it will be drawn from feelings of forest. It's always a surprise to see what I end up with! Reel shows a variety of ceramic sculptural pieces with delicate fringed leafy type elements. #leaves #forest #forestlovers #artist #capturingtheforest #sculpture #ceramics #pottery #pots #clay #ceramicsculpture #lichen #fungi #handmade #ceramica #ceramicart #ceramicslove #ceramicdesign #ceramicpot
Last night @alejandroahmed opened his rendition of Last night @alejandroahmed opened his rendition of Capturing the Forest in Rio, Brazil. This is the culmination of our Unlimited International Partner Award funded by the British Council. We have had some amazing support throughout our project from both @inbetweentime and @festivalpanorama and from @attenboroughctr for my exhibition here in the UK. Alejandro made a virtual, live, online appearance in my installation and I am hoping to appear live online in his, later this week. It's not an easy task to create together when you are continents apart, but we have influenced each other through our shared experiences, conversations, skill sharing and online meetings. Together we have found innovative ways to access the forest, and to share it with others too. Alejandro's installation looks amazing and I'm so excited to see it all come to fruition in such a dynamic and arresting way. @weareunltd #forest #art #forestlovers #installationart #digitalart #ai #sensoryexperience #disabilityarts #disabled #mobility #deaf #immersiveart Reel shows video tour of installation with rotating sticks, large screens with videos of forests and the sea and audience immersed in pink light. Reel also shows a selection of shared posts advertising the installation and featuring Al images of fictional forest prosthetics.
Playing in puddles! A blend of movement and rain, Playing in puddles! A blend of movement and rain, two key features of my early forest forays. Rain and mud were major barriers to access. Filming them and bringing the footage home allowed me to access those elements of forest from a more comfortable environment. Reel shows the outline of a women in a red jumper making large gestural movements, overlaying a film of rainy, muddy puddles. #rain #weather #puddles #mud #britishweather #forest #artist #disabilityarts #access #barriers

The song Rise Up plays.
Capturing that liminal space between domesticity a Capturing that liminal space between domesticity and forest. Capturing-the-forest was borne from being bedbound after an accident. As a wheelchair user I am no stranger to disability. Access to natural spaces has always been difficult. But this accident happened in the midst of a commission I was working on with Unlimited in partnership with @FODSculpture Confined to my bed in East Sussex and hundreds of miles from the Forest I was researching, I wished the bed would just rise up and fly; a Bedknobs & Broomsticks moment! I thought about everyone else in the same position, who couldn't leave their beds or homes to go outside and to connect with nature. I looked at the leaves, twigs and other forest finds laid around me on my duvet, and laid back listening to a field recording of birdsong. These images are taken by @rosiepowellfreelance at my Capturing The Forest installation at @attenboroughctr . CTF is an Unlimited International Partner Award commission funded by the British Council, partnering with artist @alejandroahmed (Brazil) produced by @inbetweentime and supported by @festivalpanorama Reel shows images of a four-poster bed covered in branches and ivy and surrounded by autumn leaves. Bedclothes printed in patterns made from images of lichen and fungi snake like tendrils from the bed onto the floor. A light hangs from a branch next to a bedside table covered in ivy. Birdsong plays. #bedcover #beds #fourposterbed #forest #forestlovers #forestbathing #shinrinyoku #liminal #bedclothes #surfacepatterndesign #softfurnishings #fungi #lichen #installationart #artist #britishcouncil #brazil #uk #access #disabilityarts #capturingtheforest
