Artist led Activism
My research starts from the mouth of the estuary, at Mothercombe and will end at the watershed on Dartmoor, below Princetown. I will be inviting collaboration from community groups and individuals to take part and will record progress.
RIVER ERME VALLEY INITIATIVE
A PERIPATETIC INVESTIGATION OF PLACE
mouth to source
This is an artist led initiative to create opportunities for re-engagement with our local environment. Arts as catalyst in stimulating participation.
Using multi-sensory learning and social ecologies the purpose is to to find new ways of re-connecting with our local area, I believe, necessary for future social and environmental change.
A "Civil Artist" in every community?
The initial Community of Ivybridge Project gives the history that has led me to extend this initiative to the length of the River Valley, broadening participation across more communities.
