Harry Martin and Milly Melbourne are Groundmouth, a collaboration born from The Field artist residency in the old headquarters of the National Coal Board in Derbyshire, where they worked and played together for 18 months. Groundmouth will weave new mythologies of industrialisation to intuitively understand its complex and haunting legacy, through a sprawling and scavenged installation of sculpture and sound.
ABOUT
Harry Martin’s work describes alchemical transformations leading to a deepening sense of embodiment, interdependence and connection to the land, through shimmering pastel drawings, drag rituals and fragmented choral soundscapes.
Milly Melbourne is the founder of oB wear where pieces are slowly hand worked with care, incorporating labour-intensive historical garment making techniques and handpicking natural materials with a story to tell.
