'Lateral Flight' (2014) Karen Heald, Angela Davies and Angela Kornecka, Golau, Chirk Castle, Wales. ACW funded.

In 2013 I was invited to collaborate on an artist residency by interdisciplinary artist Angela Davies, called Golau (Light). This Arts Council Wales funded project was undertaken at Ruthin Craft Centre in 2014. Themes of time and place were explored in response to the architectural framework and the geologically sculpted landscape of Chirk Castle. Golau (Light) served to generate multi-sensory and multidisciplinary responses to the memory of place, resulting in a number of site-specific installations and performative works that emulated the response to the castle and experience of the landscape. Intrinsic to this residency, was the collaboration between other artists working in different disciplines, who included Angelina Kornecka a Butoh dancer. Filming in the interior and exterior spaces of Chirk Castle, I worked intuitively with Angelina. The results were emotive movements which captured the shift in light and portrayed intimate moments in time through the camera lens.
