developed as part of the 'One hour' transsensorial

explorations of place and time APT event at

Ferymynwoods arts.

 

Invited artists responded to a one hour time period

at a place of their choosing. My departure point was

to spend an hour rowing on a boating lake to

generate a subsequent floor work of concrete

poetry to examine notions of inauthenticity

 

Co curated by Graham Keddie and Ros Stoddart.
