Enchanted Ecology - Redmond Park Land Art Project
Private Workshop
It was a joy to create a community land art with Wexford Environmental Network yesterday!
I am grateful of some hardy members who joined me in rain at Redmond Park in Wexford town.
The theme of the artwork was to celebrate their harvest as they take care of the raised beds beside the park. Some of the produce from their space was added to the artwork.
Since the group have created another artwork with me in the spring, it was nice to reflect back our previous creative experiences, appreciate the difference in the natural materials available at the park and exchange how the previous creative experience was like for each of us. I am delighted to hear that some of us have created more land art since last spring!
I love when participants follow their inspirations and take a lead in creative process, instead of me proposing ideas that 'work'. Increasingly, more than any other skills, the discernment on how to hold a safe space has become most important for me - the space where everyone feels safe to explore their creativity, where experiments, discoveries and connections are valued more than just delivering aesthetically pleasing work. My role as a facilitator is to hear each voice, support to manifest their ideas and share things about nature that never cease to enchant me.
It has been such a rich journey.
My last public event at the park is on next Saturday 25th October, 11:00 - 13:00. Free of charge. All welcome to join me in creating land art from the park.
