If I could Sink My Teeth Into The Whole Earth

Four artists (Bridget Kennedy, Mair Hughes, Katie McGown and Olivia Turner) took up residence in the Ex Libris Gallery in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in order to explore their shared interest in the legacy of industry in the British landscape. Over a five day period these artists will discussed their ideas, shared materials and created an installation using works in progress. The project culminated in a chaired discussion between the artists and archaeology staff from Newcastle University. Excerpts form this discussion can be accessed on https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/bridgetkennedy/2015/04/30/questions-and-observations-from-the-audience-on-friday-17th-april/
