A Grounding

An invitation to lie down and think slowly, at a geological pace. Originally created as an imagining of the substrata in St Ives and Carbis Bay, Cornwall, A Grounding is a spoken text which aims to evoke a dreamlike state, and provoke you to imagine your own journey to those locations or a place familiar to you.

An adapted version of this work was made in collaboration with sound artist Owen Lloyd and exhibited as part of Od Arts Festival, Cocker, Somerset in May 2023.
