TRAVELLING LIGHT

ASHLYN WOODS


24 hours between noon saturday and noon sunday 7/8 june

Imagine yourself tramping the land. You have a bivvy bag and it is getting dark. You must seek out a sleeping spot and make sufficient shelter for the night with what you find around you.
Over the week end in the woods we will imitate this situation - after some exploratory work with clay we will each search out a place to sleep in and make the simplest of shelters there. In the morning we will tell our tales.
This week end could interest you whether you like long distance walking or you just want to practice for sleeping under the stars at the bottom of the garden.

Elspeth Owen who will lead the workshop is a potter as well as a ramshackle traveller.

Bring warm waterproof clothes, a sleeping bag, a bivvy bag - and your wits

The installation, The Days are Numbered, is a collaboration between
Julia Ball and Elspeth Owen. It is inspired by the daily exchange of
postcards that has been going on between them for many years and by
the particular space of Burwash Art Gallery.

"We started writing the postcards in July 2004 after seeing together
in Edinburgh an exhibition of small works by Paul Klee. We have been
'numbering the days' ever since; by the opening of the exhibition
three thousand, five hundred and fifty days will have passed.
We always write first thing, usually from bed, we celebrate the
magical technology of the postal service and we protect each other
through this simple ritual. Although we work very differently - in paint
and collage and clay - we trust that the space is held together by the
pulsing of the postcards - and the early morning light."
