NICOLA TURNER WITH
CLARE WHISTLER
Echoed Ecstasy
Sculpture and performance
VENUE
3. The Pound, Chur Lane, West Coker
Fri 26 – Sun 28 May, 10am – 5:30pm
Two site-specific sculptural installations have been created for the festival, one in each village. Nicola’s works combine found objects that hold traces of memory, the shapes of living forms and materials from organic ‘dead’ matter such as horsehair – a material traditionally used for bedding and furniture and, in that regard, alive with history and memory. On Saturday, collaborative artist and performer, Clare Whistler, will make her own response to the sculpture at The Pound, West Coker in the form of movement.
