Resonant Grounds

So great to catch Resonant Grounds, an exhibition and creative residency in which artists Amy Cunningham, @brookleora and @joloveart joloveart collaborated with each other and interacted with the Marine Workshops BN9 site, creating soundscapes, films, photographs, drawings and so much more. Last photo shows artists amycunninghamart and Leora Brook. #nature #soundscapes #collaboration #artists @resonantgrounds

Saturday and Sunday, some more drawing, walking and making in the gallery, and many interesting chats with visitors. Such a positive, collaborative, open, wonderfully unresolved week of exchanges. @amycunninghamart @brookleora @joloveart . Thank you to @creativenewhaven for hosting our residency. Resonant Grounds is a research residency that supports 3 artists to make work in response to the site of the marine workshops, reflecting on its industrial heritage and its location alongside the river Ouse. Artists Amy Cunningham (artist and lecturer University of Brighton), Dr Johanna Love (artist and lecturer University of Brighton), Leora Brook (artist and lecturer Camberwell College of Art, UAL) work across a variety of visual, sonic, and sensory material, developing a conversation across art and ecology, raising awareness of places with a changing or fragile ecosystem such as rivers, edgelands, working industrial and post-industrial land.

A fantastic day of talking and sharing ideas and work at atrium space Newhaven following a week residency to kickstart research and making exploring resonance of place, ground, earth … Considering feeling and sensations of place, tensions, dialogues and importantly the role of media material and making .. what art can do to ‘speak’ about these things … The Atrium, Marine Workshops, Newhaven East Sussex BN9 0ER The ‘Resonant Grounds’ Research residency is supported by The Centre for Arts and Wellbeing @uob_artswellbeing #contemporaryart #contemporarydrawing #contemporaryprint #artandscience #artandnature

Day three of ‘Resonant Grounds’ residency by @brookleora @amycunninghamart @joloveart at Atrium BN9 Marine Workshops @creativenewhaven . Amy went on another walk - this time around Denton Island (which was artificially formed in 1860) gathering audio recordings of birds and a scrap metal yard. There are a surprising amount of pine trees on the Island for its size. They may have been planted in the 1950’s or as late as the 1990’s - 2000’s? On the edge of the island there are bramble bushes and looking closely you can find many beautiful brown tail moth caterpillar tents draping between the bramble thorns. (Don’t touch the caterpillars as the hairs may cause an allergic reaction) . Back in the residency space…Amy assembled ideas, listened back to sound recordings and responded to Jo’s and Leora’s prints and projections with drawings and objects.

Thinking about waves, time, material and boundaries where things change and elements meet, also having a lark by the sea, playing with casting the chalk cliffs emedded with with flint bits and inhabited by birds in hollows.  Learnt that flint was made millions of years ago from silica that in “a gel or slime-like phase filled holes and burrows in the sea-bed made by worms and marine creatures before hardening into flint”…( .uk/)   Seemed appropriate to be casting the flints that had been themselves cast back then… New thoughts, connections and juxtapositions in the exhibition/residency space, sparking off each other.  @amycunninghamart @joloveart @brookleora /marine-workshops Residency in gallery space Apr 14 – 19 (closes 12pm on 19th) Artists Talk + Q&A 11am – 1pm Apr 17 FREE Resonant Grounds is a research residency that supports 3 artists to make work in response to the site of the marine workshops, reflecting on its industrial heritage and its location alongside the river Ouse. Artists Amy Cunningham (artist and lecturer University of Brighton), Dr Johanna Love (artist and lecturer University of Brighton), Leora Brook (artist and lecturer Camberwell College of Art, UAL) work across a variety of visual, sonic, and sensory material, developing a conversation across art and ecology, raising awareness of places with a changing or fragile ecosystem such as rivers, edgelands, working industrial and post-industrial land.

Day Two of ‘Resonant Grounds’ residency by @brookleora @amycunninghamart @joloveart at Atrium BN9 Marine Workshops @creativenewhaven . Today in the morning Amy went on a walk along the river and Mill Creek to gather audio recordings of birds and industrial processes and to make drawings of the industrial buildings. These then became materials for further drawings when back at The Atrium space. The exhibition of drawing, print, objects, projections and sound that we make as we go along in the residency is available to view by the public all this week Tuesday 14th - Saturday 18th April 10am - 4pm and Sunday 10am -12noon.
