water colours always good for woodland scenes

UCA Art Students in Residence at Blean Wildart Trail

Proposal for the second year Ateliers Unit:
BA (Hons) Degree UCA


We intend to make site specific sculptures and land art installations using natural materials found in the woodland.
We will reflect the natural history and local culture of the Blean Woods.
We will engage with the local community encouraging participation in Wildart Events and Happenings in the environment of the woods, challenging traditional relationships and aesthetics.
As man and nature intervene, new work will evolve, others disappear.
The perfect work of art will be irrelevant given the variables; any assemblages will become empheral happenings, and happenings tempural.









Look forward to seeing you in the woods
