Senecio squalidus is a yellow-flowering plant native to Mount Etna, Sicily. The plant was introduced to Britain in the early 18th century in Oxford; its means of arrival are unknown. But there are some records on those who were involved […]
In the Autumn Science Lectures at the Oxford Botanic Garden, Dawn Sanders asks, “Vad se du? / What do you see?” Dawn’s research questions: – How might plant-based sensoric experiences influence human perceptions of plants? – How might story-based scientific […]
Loud sounds of dawn. Extreme wide-down view. The One is at the centre of green with its head lying on the edge of a pillow. Sounds of the wind getting stronger. While they wave and wave busily, the one […]
How do we look at and treat one another? How do the labels assigned to living things affect this? Who do you think is a better neighbour to the plant and you? With the support of the […]
This project is still very much in its infancy. So far, it has taken us through some fascinating portals, and we have yet to return — this being more of a postcard home, than a final account. By being able […]
Through using VR and AR to trace the boundaries between the past and our present, we began to explore the ways our own narratives are shaped, and changed, by the spaces around us, mapping our real and virtual journey through […]
We chose Orkney because, it is a landscape of narratives, both natural and human-made. From the ever-changing shape of the islands themselves, to the tangible presence of multiple World Heritage neolithic sites such as the imposing Standing Stones of Stenness, […]
Virtual Reality creates a separated reality a space within reality, often sold to us as access to representations of a physical space that we couldn’t otherwise inhabit – back in time, out in space, in deep oceans…magical and transformational experiences. […]
“…part of what I am is the enigmatic traces of others…” (Judith Butler)
Alongside photography and video I work with weave. My sculptural work ‘X-Ray’ series (2009-ongoing), which tests how far I can push weave against its own conventions, exposes its vertical warp, which is usually hidden. I have developed my own weave technique to reveal and manipulate the warp […]
As a part of my AN funding, and building on my “Quest ” work from last year, one of my objectives has been to visit the Goodwin Sands, which are exposed for short periods only, to gather sand from there: […]
I love learning Max MSP, particularly the control over the structure of my program visually and how that helps me to construct its framework, the help functions are extensive and actually helpful! Getting constructive feedback on my patches makes the […]
Hello reader! I just wanted to introduce myself and my practice before making posts about how I have used my AN bursary. I live in Sandwich, east Kent and have a studio in Margate. I originally trained as a painter, […]
We’ve come to the end of our time in Suffolk County and Felicity and I reflect on our project Change, Chance and Circumstance: Field Notes. What started out as a conversation on Aldeburgh Beach last summer and an exchange of […]
Felicity and I look at the footage we have of Montauk Point Lighthouse in relation to the one-minute film we made from our visit to Orfordness Lighthouse To the High Light in June. The images we took at Orfordness Lighthouse were […]
The majority of my work has references to childhood and this relates to my interest in psychoanalytic thinking. I have personally undergone 8 years of intensive psychoanalysis, where I met my psychoanalyst 5 days per week. This often frightens people […]
My interdisciplinary practice is broad and spans image making, installation and dance making, so my plan had to be equally diverse involving mentoring with an interdisciplinary artist who is a bit further on; and skills based development in Tanztheatre and […]
On our last trip out to Montauk Point, we visit Camp Hero which lies next to the Lighthouse. Again, the parallels with Orford Ness are striking. Camp Hero, like the Ness, was a strategic military defence station looking east from […]
Felicity and I have decided to make another short film to accompany the one we made at Orfordness Lighthouse in June. So we spend the time we have at Montauk Point Lighthouse capturing moving image material in and around the […]
I feel a bit like a moth to a flame. The rotating light at Montauk Point Lighthouse is mesmerising. I could watch it for hours. Felicity and I return to it with cameras charged and ready. The current light is […]
The project also included mentoring with an arts professional whom I had in-depth discussions about my practice, projects, perspective, representation and goals. We refined the language I use to express my concepts and narrative; together we worked on my artist statement and […]
