After the first half-hour of sitting back to fruit tree blindfold barefoot arms hands and upper body choreographed by birdsong we remained in silence but now not blindfold each participant was invited to record some of how they felt, heard saw in and around the orchard area of Anne-Marie’s Loughborough University Fruit Route that we were in.
All took different approaches I returned to the technique I developed during my Spoil Heap Harvest piece for Transform Snibston. Making what I call ‘presaged images’. Taking mnaterials, plants, soil etc from the environment and pressing them into – onto paper.
I made two presages and I’ve one of them here. It is made by pressing plant materials picked from the orchard margin into the paper – bluebell flower nettle leaf buttercup. The other image I made is the imprint of grass etc from the bottom of my bare left foot.
