CREATIVES NETWORK WITH WONDERZOO
AT KARST
I am very excited to have been invited by lovely Chi and Slain at WonderZoo to share my work at their Creatives Meet Up taking place at KARST, a contemporary art gallery and studios in Stonehouse, Plymouth. I decided to share some of my older films which have not been shown in Plymouth yet, with a performance reading of recent text. I am curious about how my journey through the Fragments of Experience project relates to the research and practice I am engaged in now, and to consider ways in which I make films so different to each other, but always exploring sensory absorption as a way of relating within the world.
The event will take place in Fenster, KARST's multipurpose artists' space. I used to work at the gallery as administrator and have always thought how wonderful it'd be to share some work there. It's interesting how things happen in unexpected ways! I am looking forward to connecting with other creatives and saying hello to some great people I haven't seen in a while.
Seaing/Hereing photography exhibition
at The Talk Shop Stonehouse
I presented a collection of black and white film photographs taken at the beginning of Seaing/Hereing - they have not seen the light of day apart from some glimpses of the internet, and feel very important to the way the project started developing.
Captured at the same sites as the filming, on a double exposed roll with a wildflowering of textures and entities. Sam’s modified found-sound soundscape filled the space.
This exhibition was a much appreciated opportunity to pause with the still images, and consider where the work has been meandering since the beginning of this year.

Seaing/Hereing first performance

The first performance of the Seaing/Hereing project took place alongside a wonderful line up of artists in a SOAK event in July at Leadworks, Plymouth. A 15 min version of the film was accompanied by a live manipulated soundtrack by Sam Johnson, comprised of field recordings, and spoken word/vocal performance.

Constellations
an exhibition of works by Autistic Artists-Researchers
Patrycja Loranc * Mars Saude * Joanne Dorothea-Smith
Heightened sensory sensitivities, alternate communication styles. Repetition and patterns as soothing interaction with the complexity of the universe. This project brings together Autistic Artists-Researchers to explore a convergence of sensory and cognitive realities within practice research which anchors the investigations at the intersection of perception, philosophy, and relationships with nature.
With an interest in phenomenology and relationships to the surrounding world, the works ask questions about unique experiences that cannot be described or explained within the confines of academic writing, social interaction or even solely verbal language. It is an invitation to explore worlds of neurodivergent perception and contexts of investigation that allow understanding to arise through non-conceptual knowledge, through direct experience of the works.
Events:
Exhibition | 6 - 12th April 2024 | 37 Looe Street/ButCH | Plymouth |
Film Screening + Panel Discussion | Wednesday 10th April at | Jill Craigie Cinema | University of Plymouth | 6 - 8pm |
