The Pattern that Emerges

As part of a group residency in 2022 with fellow AHH Studio Collective artists at Art Licks' residency space on North York Moors, we engaged with the site and surrounding area through the lens of Herbert Read’s novel, ‘The Green Child’. This provided the opportunity to explore individual ideas and share responses.

An initial work 'Patterns and Atmospheres', a time lapse video that traced passages of light as they travelled through an agricultural building of interest on site, informed a series of drawings made in response to gestural marks left on the fabric of the same building. The series title came from Read's poem 'Moon's Farm' that reflects on relationships with land.
