Taleamor Park: open studio day

For the Taleamor Park residency open studio day and artists' talks, Saturday 27 October 2017; I spoke about my process of creating site-responsive installations and sculptures, the specifics of being attentive to a particular time and place, embodied research  working with locally sourced milkweed seed-fluff, cuttings from a tree hit by lightening, found objects, corn leaves from the farm fields, a tree stump growing turkey tail mushrooms and charcoal from the bonfire. taleamorpark.org
