what it is to be there

By  Helen Acklam 2022

Installation of site-specific work exploring grief shame and place.  The work was made over the course of a year when I returned to the Garw Valley to dig into the earth and into my past.  I discovered what ‘disenfranchised’ feelings and experiences meant through my embodied engagement with already meaningful materials - the soil and clay. This work and research was made possible thanks to public funding from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, and the Brigstow Institute.
