kescows an bys (the earth talks) 10 – porthmeor studio 9, st ives 2021

From March to June 2021 I enjoyed a working tenancy at the prestigious Porthmeor Studio 9, in St Ives, Cornwall, UK. The tenancy was secured through application and selection by the Borlase John West Trust.

My intention was to continue my conversation with hand gathered and processed earth pigments from mining waste and natural landforms in west Cornwall through the mediums of linseed oil, painting, clay works and face painting.

It was a real privilege and inspiration to work in the studios and I am very happy with the progress I have made. Combined with linseed oil the pigments offered a real density of expression and colour. I journeyed deeper into Cornish culture through folklore and the narrative of intuition and was fortunate to share some stories through film and national media.
