Grizedale

Edwina is currently undertaking an AHRC collaborative practice based PhD.

Studying part time, she is working with Glasgow School of Art and the Forestry Commission at Grizedale to explore the past, present, and future of sited work in a forest context.

As forests are both carbon sinks and carbon stores, part of this research is looking at how anxiety about climate change is influencing both artists’, and their audiences’ engagement with sited work, particularly in a woodland context.

Edwina is using her own artwork to explore anxiety about being lost and losing things. The first experiment involves videoing many (anxious and uncertain) attempts to enter Grizedale Forest accompanied by a 1.7 metre red balloon.
