Sensing The Environment ~Primary Research~ by NiamhSeana Meehan https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4 en-us 2024-03-27 15:30:15 UTC 2024-06-10 12:18:23 UTC hello@padlet.com The poster for this residency is a close-up image of my furry collaborator Olive (a two-year-old Golden Retriever). Olive and I spend a lot of time exploring coastlines. Being in a more research stage of my practice, I’ve had time to observe how she maps her surroundings. Her quest for the perfect rock fascinated me, it had to be the right shape to fit securely within the pocket of her mouth. She would carry it for ages until another catch her eye. niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999765241 2024-05-20 07:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999765241 Dreamers - an audio listening experience to draw with.

Lough Foyle lies between Derry and Donegal. I started thinking about lines, paths, and how water is in constant flux. How can we write about slippery things, can textual investigations hold onto something, are we all not just leaky bodies in constant flux? niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999789801 2024-05-20 07:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999789801 niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999792544 2024-05-20 07:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999792544 niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999793624 2024-05-20 07:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999793624 niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999794054 2024-05-20 07:48:50 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999794054 Pocket Tests niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999795868 2024-05-20 07:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999795868 Finding Hag stones niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999796927 2024-05-20 07:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999796927 Kinnagoe Bay niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999797848 2024-05-20 07:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999797848 Kinnagoe Bay ~ Desire path niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999799639 2024-05-20 07:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/2999799639 Solo kayaking ~ listening ~ thinking with water. I live within a 20 minute walk from Camlough Lake. (Camloch, meaning 'crooked lake') I purchased a kayak earlier this year to spend more time on water. I have been slowly making my way around this crooked lake. thinking about the shape of the lake ~ been thinking about naming parts, places, or points I stop at along the sides. niamhseana https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/3005200299 2024-05-23 15:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/niamhseana/bwodw87is9m1w6q4/wish/3005200299 spending long periods of time on Camlough Lake has slowly developed my thinking with water. How is our mind like a watery system? (open water) kayaking has provided my practice with the opportunity to collaborate with water. In terms of sensing, it has steered the glossary of language around floating to think more in-depth about somatic language. How does floating affect the BODY.

Unlike litho printing, it only takes a single print for the stencil to be fully inked and ready to print. It uses little electricity and eliminates the need for up to 100,000 litres of water and 10,000 litres of alcohol (per year) consumed by a typical mid-size printer.

It was something we both felt strongly about and spoke to the directors of the festival to see if it would be possible to organise. It meant we spent more time traveling and had little time to engage with the other activities happening within the festival. However, it was rewarding to have conversations around slow traveling and working in a slower environment.
