shadow and light works with paper and mirror offer temporary, playful ways to deepen our connection with place. They invite ephemeral glimpses into more than human life. In city spaces; a way to look more closely at micro plant life.
Paper works are made from recycled paper with varying plant material (2020-ongoing)They seek to hold - momentarily - the shadows of plant life in sunlight and the hidden intricacies in the environment. Drawing out the unseen, placed in liminal zones; the circular reflectors are a playful way to connect and interact with walked landscapes.
I often use mirrors as a placemaking tool, to explore local ecologies with communities. Mirror works above, for ‘walking as healing’ event with Healing Arts Scotland in Aberdeen.
Paper and light works inspired the walking recipe for WalkCreate’s walk book. The publication included 20 recipes from walking artists for wellbeing activity in response to the Pandemic. Please click on the image below for more information and access to my elemental walking recipe.
