In early July I travelled east to Kent, to Romney Marshes, for Jam on the Marsh – a predominately musical event in London and the Romney Marshes.
My venue was Fairfield Church. It was a damp morning as I set out across the Marsh seeking the church. I saw it from some way off, a beautiful form on the flat green ocean.
Hundreds of sheep skittered away as we crossed the fields carrying drum, paper and inks.
I had come to make my hollow bone monotype drawings in response to energetic charges I received from co-creators…
Inside the church it was beautiful, peaceful and spacious. Little white painted closed pews felt like little boats for prayer. I chose one with beside a window, and lit a candle, set out my inks, printing plate, drum and papers. Soon people arrived and for the next two days I worked with musicians, composers, interns, and students to create bespoke drawings from dreams, incidents, or from messages I picked up from the energetic fields surrounding people.
The experience was intense, emotional, powerful, and rewarding. I was happy with the drawings I made in response, and everyone took away their co-created drawing.
