The Casenotes series commenced just as I was making a transition from working primarily as an art therapist to working primarily as an artist. It charts a significant internal process for me in working through powerful emotions related to the work and strong feelings of appreciation and respect for the very many people I feel I will never cease to think and care about. <div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6tehJNKLnZKfIa8eOrNNNIS16zD-Em7GcQWSa9JdRZHKldzrxmYPNXB9IIpLjHcQqkUH0lChHrarverPgMCFbHOGjlVrFBuFimm3I6AqoYGb1l7GUYOOnAjgruHjKhupc4o2cQV1xaUK7ebSWGAmrdP7Qj8lfeFerQ0bSHol-lK8C3i3KynIy8sn5Q/s800/casenotes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="800" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6tehJNKLnZKfIa8eOrNNNIS16zD-Em7GcQWSa9JdRZHKldzrxmYPNXB9IIpLjHcQqkUH0lChHrarverPgMCFbHOGjlVrFBuFimm3I6AqoYGb1l7GUYOOnAjgruHjKhupc4o2cQV1xaUK7ebSWGAmrdP7Qj8lfeFerQ0bSHol-lK8C3i3KynIy8sn5Q/w517-h388/casenotes.jpg" width="517" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>None of the images in the Casenotes series relates to the experiences of any specific individual.

This book, subsequently used as a footballing scrapbook, holds fragments of hospital records, charting day and night progress of recovery or decline, overlaid with 1950s press cuttings of football and footballers. I've been intrigued by the strange correspondence between the images and language of sport and health, and have drawn from the book in Casenotes. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNi5qMzl6wOC9DkUO6PrHwQ8lMy9WK9jT-AL_eLJ-I__zdy2IT7oV_ecTFfnpag4QIjykdTdI9QGJCbqq0ONqYlcTblrbEe9uuJHKh2MF6xYE7XUq2EqdYVE-W183dJDAlirtvqGJQPhf4-9AGbCFtNfs-49wGv6PBIrL1KbHQDMJbhij0zcwKHctJdA/s1500/S.O.%20Book%20127.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="1500" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNi5qMzl6wOC9DkUO6PrHwQ8lMy9WK9jT-AL_eLJ-I__zdy2IT7oV_ecTFfnpag4QIjykdTdI9QGJCbqq0ONqYlcTblrbEe9uuJHKh2MF6xYE7XUq2EqdYVE-W183dJDAlirtvqGJQPhf4-9AGbCFtNfs-49wGv6PBIrL1KbHQDMJbhij0zcwKHctJdA/w517-h424/S.O.%20Book%20127.jpg" width="517" /></a></div><div>Paper is particularly suited to themes of damage, repair, reparation in the way it can receive many media, be cut, incised, glued and layered. The papers used in Casenotes are integral to the process, content and resonance of the work: manila folders, suspension files, perforated computer paper are often the repositories of and transmitters of sensitive material and personal stories encapsulated in case notes. The trace or evocation of past use is an imaginative stimulus, but the paper also provides a shape or frame to the work - a given format alongside endless permutations of content. Using storage systems as materials expands a metaphor for the way the psyche develops within imposed external frameworks, and reflects societal drives to systematise and control unpredictable human forces.
Whilst I consider drawing to be at the heart of my practice, I am a multi-media artist, using video, painting, photography, sound and sculptural elements, often in the form of found objects. Whatever the media/scale and whether digital or analogue my work revolves around a fascination with internal states of being: alive to the promptings of chance, fantasy and emotion, it seeks out correspondences between the material world and the hidden crannies of the psyche.</div><div><br /></div><div>This body of work has been shown in Concentric@tactileBOSCH Lounge and in Thoughts on Paper at Oriel y Bont, Pontypridd. </div><div>To see some individual images from this series go to <a href="https://pennyhallas.co.uk/wp/artwork/casenotes/">https://pennyhallas.co.uk/wp/artwork/casenotes/</a><br />

I started to experiment with video and projection in both locations. <div><br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtprmnZDSabYelZn4lPGr22mtYuE6ommg6XPFKU7LfDT9CgyW5qlw5YAbMmk-QcWbGXIo2Va_BsH7oWjWEPp_coEItfwLjuKecRB6Ew3DHS2xk8_0FCMLj9PY9_P7dIlG9xSYR8gIGiyf/s2000/VegBox.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1330" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPtprmnZDSabYelZn4lPGr22mtYuE6ommg6XPFKU7LfDT9CgyW5qlw5YAbMmk-QcWbGXIo2Va_BsH7oWjWEPp_coEItfwLjuKecRB6Ew3DHS2xk8_0FCMLj9PY9_P7dIlG9xSYR8gIGiyf/w243-h364/VegBox.JPG" width="243" /></a></div><br /><div>The work gradually came to channel for me something of the emotional complexity of my feelings about the pandemic and the threat of environmental catastrophe. Alongside the emotional uplift of natural surroundings, the satisfaction of growing vegetables and feeling connected to a community despite isolation, I experienced a growing awareness of the tension between the powerful, sometimes destructive energies of nature - their violence exacerbated by human action over the centuries - and our growing awareness of the need to engage with those forces in cooperative and restorative ways before it's too late.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHrMACtADH7xMxICVgLCFb0MJKzIkn3SLzSP2IPj2YyOYGzB2dq9IId10X047GMXpmzYOxJ7JUtb99QE2k_LKe35i38aLdi0JZ3qHCnFbcJuHHiJ_UL8Q2C27ntHaHt4v_llefXreTRrt/s1278/Studio+experiments.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="1278" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrHrMACtADH7xMxICVgLCFb0MJKzIkn3SLzSP2IPj2YyOYGzB2dq9IId10X047GMXpmzYOxJ7JUtb99QE2k_LKe35i38aLdi0JZ3qHCnFbcJuHHiJ_UL8Q2C27ntHaHt4v_llefXreTRrt/w490-h276/Studio+experiments.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><br />
At the centre of it all is water. The allotments are close to the river Usk which now floods on a regular basis, but nevertheless, constant labour is needed to ensure the plot is watered enough to produce food. Drought and flood, part of the ancient rhythm, wrestled with through the ages by the water-carriers and the dyke builders, a rhythm now accelerating and intensifying everywhere around the globe. Such problems can only be tackled on a communal scale, and the allotment ideal is a deeply communal one. The water container is part of our local allotment's solar-powered water supply - an ecologically balanced system of containment and distribution which requires a cooperative approach to function effectively. Amongst the live sounds heard in the projected videos are chanted words in different languages for 'water', 'flood' and 'to water'. Thanks to poet <a href="https://lyndondavies.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lyndon Davies</a> for the addition of this spoken element. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='492' height='408' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzGKomKmvA539VAHkSdPE-SVX4Dhb-w60wXPSbEcbbHm_Rw8oeBgc5rFscxro4bBo3Q8SmYo1OxuSJX-VxAzA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">The full versions of these videos can be seen at </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="https://youtu.be/Yy5FNYXaaLo">https://youtu.be/Yy5FNYXaaLo</a> and <a href="https://youtu.be/WxS9n35rUK0">https://youtu.be/WxS9n35rUK0</a> </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div>An exciting opportunity to develop this work came with an invitation from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tactilebosch/" target="_blank">tactileBOSCH</a> to take over their Cardiff city centre gallery during September.

Whilst the four Aftermath drawings made it out of the country to be shown in Finland (see previous post), Covid 19 and lockdown prevented planned artist visits and exchanges taking place. Thanks to Arts Council Wales Stabilisation Funds, I was able to extend the opportunity by making companion pieces to the Aftermath series and connecting with Marja Bonada, (artist and co-curator of the exhibition). Creative digital collaboration, exploration of the exhibition themes and sharing of mutual responses informed our respective artworks and practices. All the works seen here are my own. For Marja’s work see <a href="https://www.instagram.com/marjabonada/" target="_blank">@marjabonada</a> and see the <a href="https://www.a-n.co.uk/blogs/connectives/" target="_blank">a-n blog</a> for an account of our exchanges. <div><br /></div><div>I started by developing a new series of 12 drawings, keeping the 7'x2'6" format of Aftermath and the free flowing exchange between concrete and imagined forms. As a child, I was given an 1824 Clark's Myriorama: 16 interchangeable paintings of picturesque landscape that can be rearranged to create a near-endless variety of cohesive scenes. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9YP3mGtsj4LPqyug0bpITYSoKOr7JG1Jb3KALpMRlsbMAHKf5d8snuAbck0H1-vHd3_WYUdZ0A-A0dXbbWh5QliIkuZBBobc2KcHEdB1_uaGvsu3EheNxKLf1Svsv7kI_A4LS1ZLEdx0/s1131/for+blog+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1131" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja9YP3mGtsj4LPqyug0bpITYSoKOr7JG1Jb3KALpMRlsbMAHKf5d8snuAbck0H1-vHd3_WYUdZ0A-A0dXbbWh5QliIkuZBBobc2KcHEdB1_uaGvsu3EheNxKLf1Svsv7kI_A4LS1ZLEdx0/s320/for+blog+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Myrioramas became a popular entertainment and means of learning, just as tourism was developing and as ideas of picturesque and sublime were being challenged by profound changes due to industrial and agricultural revolution. The Myriorama still felt relevant to me as a way of re-interpreting landscape and its social context, bringing sites and objects into new relationship and offering new perspectives. The interchangeability of panels disrupts linear expectations and allows varying narratives of sense of place, extending conversations about beauty, value, risk, damage and loss, unexpected impacts of human activity, resilience and reparation. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHBmFClQI8aw3DJlEpqycsE__wy0XniXcyfHKuLXziHg7_9CvBVC2ft1VyEiM_qTmTuAuAxZ9IbLKOvpR85gJTIXUEGXFHOLfkIsh-sIW6H-oEpW6wLliTnLMBue4gq5Qxn7tqrXwpVwO/s1600/connectives+detail.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="321" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHBmFClQI8aw3DJlEpqycsE__wy0XniXcyfHKuLXziHg7_9CvBVC2ft1VyEiM_qTmTuAuAxZ9IbLKOvpR85gJTIXUEGXFHOLfkIsh-sIW6H-oEpW6wLliTnLMBue4gq5Qxn7tqrXwpVwO/w427-h321/connectives+detail.jpg" width="427" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Working in partnership brings a difference in energy, creating cross-currents and disturbance: digital exchanges with Marja opened up new ideas and explorations. I found myself experimenting with decayed buckets and a boiler found on spoil tips in the Black Mountains, which seemed to fit well with the Finland exhibition themes of of moderation, co-operation and equality, especially given that water - access and quality - is another looming global crisis. It also links in to some of my previous work about flood - and the hope that sustainable water management, like community based micro-hydro schemes, could be one of the answers to the challenge of what happens after capitalism. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmfWpy3UQ_brd5vc0tU6zO0GlAafQNyS09pMNR0DBhGh8h0R82ZfiWBbv_PkTV1AMrcWv3aE2Eo_7h770g7OwvlwKTVW69mh5ZlUOP1uwTMQSo1e14LJTKL38_zHwgWP6QVOz1EztVQ5s/s1131/for+blog.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1131" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCmfWpy3UQ_brd5vc0tU6zO0GlAafQNyS09pMNR0DBhGh8h0R82ZfiWBbv_PkTV1AMrcWv3aE2Eo_7h770g7OwvlwKTVW69mh5ZlUOP1uwTMQSo1e14LJTKL38_zHwgWP6QVOz1EztVQ5s/w426-h271/for+blog.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqqzZMAiS5udE9Rsj39S686xZZeUeR0OG44thf1lJAkxFW_NZaghjunB7x8rcmYgYS4YHDIjqMz-KqQTR43FkOwvaoy88djbM0EXNEyod9qEG3T948GwddcitIm76BQKg6SRxEgKD3NUT/s1333/Buckets+1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1333" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSqqzZMAiS5udE9Rsj39S686xZZeUeR0OG44thf1lJAkxFW_NZaghjunB7x8rcmYgYS4YHDIjqMz-KqQTR43FkOwvaoy88djbM0EXNEyod9qEG3T948GwddcitIm76BQKg6SRxEgKD3NUT/w425-h319/Buckets+1.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>During a gap in their exhibitions programme Oriel Davies Gallery, Newtown, Wales, let us use their gallery spaces for 3 days in October 2020, to experiment and develop work together. It was an amazing opportunity to be playful as well as ambitious, and to find out how we - and our works - would relate in a shared space. The principles of co-operation, moderation and equality were tested in practice, and were embodied in the generous welcome and support given by Oriel Davies.
Only two panels of the Myriorama could be seen at any one time in my studio, so at last I was able to hang my 12 Connectives and to rework them in relation to each other, then experiment with the sculptural elements of the found objects in relation to the drawings. Lastly I played with adding projection of roiling water from the locality of the historic Clydach ironworks contrasted with sequences of produce grown on our local allotments.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-e_zFrEBbWtOvdIU4RIaNSZQXpCIJG-no0VFYb2HiMywEQE684lXo7SxtPt1idU0QKa2cP2ZX23i-z-jEsPyZjEgcOolym5-uhEq9DB7k4O0F1MKJfbaFTG8YThdYkgKa8gwpn2lMBtIY/s1681/Hallas+5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1681" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-e_zFrEBbWtOvdIU4RIaNSZQXpCIJG-no0VFYb2HiMywEQE684lXo7SxtPt1idU0QKa2cP2ZX23i-z-jEsPyZjEgcOolym5-uhEq9DB7k4O0F1MKJfbaFTG8YThdYkgKa8gwpn2lMBtIY/w428-h254/Hallas+5.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jMJNEVLJh9RwbhHlv0Ppp8-w3ixhnZHzcjb7YAM0w2Woh9dFU7N3l3p6Sqz8AkoJFOgWKj7c0KSBQROy-IfHzDxX3NuI_E4AhTV8KkuBY4Z4Ro0qJuGfmpxKr6cqeLLyT3HWaWqD9MuL/s1000/Hallas+12.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7jMJNEVLJh9RwbhHlv0Ppp8-w3ixhnZHzcjb7YAM0w2Woh9dFU7N3l3p6Sqz8AkoJFOgWKj7c0KSBQROy-IfHzDxX3NuI_E4AhTV8KkuBY4Z4Ro0qJuGfmpxKr6cqeLLyT3HWaWqD9MuL/w423-h317/Hallas+12.JPG" width="423" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRIKZBwbLvBRyh3lVvn6dKzA0w5dUl33-Pw6I9dtcQ9iYzs55WjkFmE16PFch1e4X-9YH-hV2y2-tRRjrgIo4Gqn96WoNQt06UvASzVn283nEdlcjL513U4216dVGIs0rN1XUWqZ_VJPy/s1000/Hallas+27a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRIKZBwbLvBRyh3lVvn6dKzA0w5dUl33-Pw6I9dtcQ9iYzs55WjkFmE16PFch1e4X-9YH-hV2y2-tRRjrgIo4Gqn96WoNQt06UvASzVn283nEdlcjL513U4216dVGIs0rN1XUWqZ_VJPy/w424-h319/Hallas+27a.jpg" width="424" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>Marja and I found we'd both been strongly influenced through our lives by mythology and that it seeps through our work like a refrain - constant but constantly changing. We saw resonances and differences between our works: earth/air, light/dark, cacophony/harmony, memory/forgetting, risk/playfulness: maybe even beauty and terror. Although not explicitly about Covid 19, our project could not help being heavily influenced and affected by it. Along with most other people, we were never sure whether our plans could go ahead, and needed to be extra flexible and responsive to changing situations. We have felt more vulnerable in so many ways and find the principles of co-operation, moderation and equality more important and relevant than ever for us, the art world, society and the environment. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaZFG-QvNU9OmakmysmDRiqJR2PQsY31NGlmyiNegOTAnxZ99rYl7q_7HOcNeIJZ69aQp9PhkauKtwx8kLTMjYAUfYjGdn02BJ2y-YaIa-9qFmjwUzOg9AWV1tmFQBtuHxgdD1iddJ7Hv/s1277/Connectives+film+still+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="722" data-original-width="1277" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcaZFG-QvNU9OmakmysmDRiqJR2PQsY31NGlmyiNegOTAnxZ99rYl7q_7HOcNeIJZ69aQp9PhkauKtwx8kLTMjYAUfYjGdn02BJ2y-YaIa-9qFmjwUzOg9AWV1tmFQBtuHxgdD1iddJ7Hv/w572-h323/Connectives+film+still+2.jpg" width="572" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4S_kn4u4Iu8IjZcHK0df4ktlnzctiJa4Sv9SLcELF4sM6ulxwC5rDDgfgoQdXXWYJf1w_1S1QVEsdmlc21H1qEVI7Mz65gkwXnu4KaCSSmvbvDUKwTrRpazX2J6Mx_0c4D4SNXI_xgh5s/s2037/Lottery+funding+strip+landscape+colour.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="137" data-original-width="2037" height="29" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4S_kn4u4Iu8IjZcHK0df4ktlnzctiJa4Sv9SLcELF4sM6ulxwC5rDDgfgoQdXXWYJf1w_1S1QVEsdmlc21H1qEVI7Mz65gkwXnu4KaCSSmvbvDUKwTrRpazX2J6Mx_0c4D4SNXI_xgh5s/w429-h29/Lottery+funding+strip+landscape+colour.png" width="429" /></a></div><br /></div>Penny Hallashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00797978292463083868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5239102298789315201.post-29452686708758453292020-06-03T07:47:00.004-07:002021-10-08T01:50:45.192-07:00Aftermath<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt;">The theme relating to what a post-capitalist world might be like was a perfect opportunity to further develop ideas about value, as outlined in the </span><a href="https://boxingthechimera.blogspot.com/2013/10/pantechnicon.html" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt;">Pantechnicon </a><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 10pt;">post. The Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales, where I live and work, is typically seen as a site of natural beauty. Yet it is riddled with the scars of industrial activity from the earliest days of the industrial revolution to current engineering projects seen as essential to the local economy. One aspect of my practice consists in walking the landscape and watching out for the cast-offs and remnants of such activity, many of which, having passed through the transformations of time and chemistry, have acquired, for me, a certain aura, almost akin to ritual objects. Once purely utile, they have acquired a poetic force and different kind of value. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri";">It’s now clear that the manipulation of desire, through the endless proliferation and marketing of consumer goods has global effects whose damage is out of all proportion to the apparent innocence of the products and their commercial theatres of display. The re-contextualised objects in these drawings, have the virtue of owning up not only to their own damaged nature and the damaging nature of the economic forces which originally brought them into being, but also of pointing forward into the looming catastrophe. They are the aftermath which points to the coming aftermath.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Leading up to November 2019 I was preparing work for <a href="http://tactilebosch.co.uk/underthecounterculture">UndertheCounterCulture</a> (UTCC) with tactileBOSCH. Their call out asked artists to submit work that '<i>explores and celebrates all aspects of night culture and the counter cultural and non-normative activities that it inspires</i>', to '<i>shine a light on the value of grass roots night spaces of our urban landscape and their ability to create... platforms for inclusion, connection and presence in a world of increasing hostility and disconnect</i>'.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A repeating theme in my work is exploration of rural/urban connections and disconnections and how economic and psychological processes both flow and create tensions between the two. Mynydd Llangattock caves have been a workplace for me for a decade, in part as a locus of exploration of mythic forces (<a href="http://pennyhallas.co.uk/wp/431/orpheus-project/">Orpheus Project</a>) and disruption to contact and communication (<a href="http://pennyhallas.co.uk/wp/date/2016/03/">GPS Signal Lost</a>). Going under the rural landscape for UTCC I wanted, in company with artists, poets and performers, to try to tap into the kind of primal human energies that still drive people to seek out the Dionysian counter-cultural landscapes of the city, and bring a different perspective to them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I began with developing video and projection to create a temporary night-club atmosphere underground - a space for something to happen - using clips I had taken aboveground and underground. Dazzling lights of night time driving along road systems that link the Black Mountains with urban centres: the flash of a headtorch picking out elements of the tight confined passages of the locked cave of Agen Allwedd. In the studio I projected the video onto banks of cats’ eyes, and re-video'd this to add layers to what I would use down the cave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Brake lights, warning signs corresponded with disco lights but also referenced sun, moon, stars, which seemed to fit well with the time of year - moving to winter solstice and dying of the light - and also to a time of environmental and political threat. To amplify themes of connection / disconnection I added images of death I'd observed in the land around the caves.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks to Christopher Twig for contributing the following Gary Snyder reference:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Performance is currency in the deep world’s gift economy. The ‘deep world’ is of course the thousand-million-year old world of rock, soil, water, air, and all living beings, all acting through their roles. ‘Currency’ is what you pay your debt with. We all receive, every day, the gifts of the Deep World, from the air we breathe to the food we eat. How do we repay that gift? Performance. A song for your supper… <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The human contribution to the planetary ecology might be our entertaining eccentricity, our skills as musicians and performers, our awe-inspiring dignity as ritualists and solemn ceremonialists — because that is what seems to delight the watching wild world… <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Performance is art in motion; in the moment; both enactment and embodiment. This is exactly what nature herself is…’ </i> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The work involved dredging, pumping, relining in clay and concrete and sinking in massive polypropylene pipes, activities which can sometimes totally transform the appearance and - perhaps temporarily - the entire ecology of a particular stretch of waterway.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The process of stripping the canal back brings old structures to light, as well as throwing up all manner of artefacts from an earlier era, such as rusty tools and bits of machinery, clay pipes and pottery sherds, as well as more contemporary objects: a mobile phone: a Sabatier knife. These objects often have strong sculptural characteristics and even a ritualistic quality. They seem to breathe history and are powerfully redolent of the people who have lived and worked along the waterways for centuries.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A canal, of course, is mainly about water, and these cycles of rest and upheaval reveal the element in a wealth of different aspects, qualities and behaviours, in differing contexts and subject to differing forms of action and use. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are phases when the canal seems almost natural, an object of timeless bucolic beauty, but in fact it requires almost constant upkeep. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another opportunity to explore preoccupations with water, industry and ecology came about thanks to involvement in Steve Hitchins' <a href="https://stevenhitchins.wixsite.com/canalchemy" style="color: purple;">Canalchemy</a> project - a series of collaborative performances along the route of the deleted Glamorganshire canal.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Canalchemy ran concurrently with Binocular, Hydro and Canalworks, so ideas and visual explorations from all these fed into my responses to successive stages of Steve's project. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I realised it was a privately owned micro-hydro installation the grief I felt was modified by the recognition that we need to rethink our relationship with our environment and that the idea of untouched nature is an illusion, even in a national park. Gradually as the installation bedded in, I came to appreciate the site in a different way, and to see new interest and beauty there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

My own experience of micro-hydro made me want to reflect more on the relation between new sustainable energy initiatives in an area typically seen as unspoilt, but with a long industrial heritage. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reflecting on the lack of objects on the Skirrid led to ideas of re-populating it with these objects – investing it with something of the social, industrial, natural exchanges that it has been protected from. I thought of the old stories of people taking soil from the holy mountain of the Skirrid in order to sprinkle it in significant places – a garden, a grave. I felt the Skirrid was somehow sacred to our project, as the chosen place, and that the areas I was walking were profane in this context as well as being seen so in the old story. Caroline and I had taken tiny soil samples at key points on our Skirrid walk: perhaps I would sprinkle my soil samples in the places these objects were found: in ArcadeCardiff I combined found objects, soil and images of the mountain.</span></div>

I found myself circumnavigating the mountain, taking photos and sketching. Back in the studio, I thought about how once more I’d taken the long view - looking in at the mountain rather than out from it - a different perspective to the experience Caroline had shared. I tried to convey something of this different relationship to and perception of the Skirrid in oil paint on gleaned cats eyes. Viewed through a range of magnifying devices mounted in found metal objects from areas outside the Skirrid boundary.</span></span></div>

The need to be resiliant can feel like a new tyranny, but in this project helped us think how place, systems, objects, a community and an artist are affected by and respond to change and challenge.

They call to mind the mapping of routes, finding one's way, the establishment of orderly routines for progressing through space, but they also seem evocative of the endless night-spaces which surround the narrow corridors they illuminate.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the Collection Centre, objects of vastly different form and function rub up against one another as if haphazardly, and I wanted to capture something of the way the strangeness of these juxtapositions seems at once to intensify the visual presence of the objects and to suggest shadowy new possibilities of meaning, use and derivation. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kate turned the lights out so that I could take these new possibilities further, by projecting films made about the collection onto objects.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The exhibition forms part of the Arts Council Wales funded Boxing
the Chimera project, for the purposes of which I made drawings and a film
from objects discovered in three museums: Newport Museum, Merthyr’s
Cyfarthfa Castle and the Swansea Museum Collection Centre itself. By combining
elements, the drawings attempt to create dynamic new configurations, suggestive
of alternative orders of reality, whilst celebrating the individuality of the
things themselves.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were amazed by the investment in and facilities for the fine arts, which included a range of gallery and exhibition spaces on campus. We learned that students can gain teaching experience whilst on their Batchelor of Fine Arts Courses, which equips them with a start in lecturing. They then seem to be encouraged to move on to apply for posts elsewhere, allowing freshness and diversity in the institutions.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sunday brought a shift in focus for me, as I was staying on for a few days, thanks to friend <a href="http://sanmateocountypoet.org/">Caroline Goodwin</a>, poet laureate of San Mateo County, California. I had already heard something of the connections between art and poetry at Fort Collins through Marius who introduced us to poetry students, and gave me a copy of his recent collaboration with writer Matthew Cooperman (<i><a href="http://jadedibispress.net/IMAGO.html">Imago for the fallen world</a></i>). Working with poets has been a central part of my recent practice: now, Caroline and I could review past collaborations and plan new ones, as well as have loads of fun. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The final afternoon of Pantechnicon at ArcadeCardiff featured a group of seven poets: nearly all of us had worked together before in some way, or had shared experiences of the Black Mountains. Lyndon Davies gave a general introduction to my work. David Greenslade, mixing Welsh and English, talked about objects and their thresholds, and recounted personal memories stirred up by some of the items on display.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Allen Fisher found
echoes in the archeology of the Welsh borderland and the Marches. He
said: Pantechnicon<i> </i>involves
happenstance and memory and a contemplation of their gathering, all of which
are involved in engagements of attention to a deliberately limited range of
particulars. Collecting materials for use in the studio from the hills involves
a complex of histories, a complex of different patterns of connectedness,
natural forms and family memorabilia reach across objects found, industrial and
historical or objects factured by the artist. Pantechnicon is about the
development of imagination.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then Hartill and Davies read together from
the compensatory laws of the 10th century Welsh king, Hywel Dda. That question of value again - what are
things worth, what even are the things of the body worth? They seek to assign to all the different elements and objects of society a clear place on a scale of values, and beyond that a particular price for purposes of compensation in case of loss or injury. Davies said, "In relation to this exhibition there is a nice chime here, it seems to me, with Penny's revaluation of values, which includes in its embrace the outmoded, the broken, the discarded and the veiled. It relates also to the context of the shopping centre, which is all about the manipulation of value."</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">As well as the voices of the poets, one of the things I most enjoyed was the </span>contributions of visitors. During the course of the exhibition I worked on drawings, using the objects on display as motifs, combining them in new ways. People would ask me about or comment on the drawings and I invited them to add their words or make their own marks, and incorporated these into the images.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">So it is the relatively intimate collections of smaller museums, with their sometimes less ordered narratives, that interest me most. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">They can be more organic, with a quirkier, wilder
and perhaps more complex story to tell of locality and the human psyche. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 'ideal state' is a chimera, a mythical beast, but objects and systems too are continually creating new chimera in the process of their collisions and interactions, fabulous and unlikely forms which may only last a moment but which stir our consciousness into new life and excitement</span></div>
