Map Making with Carrie Fertig
The Barn and Health of the Sublime invite participants to help make a multimedia handcrafted ‘mindmap’,based on the places we most intensely experience ‘wellbeing’ and ‘the sublime’ in the natural world.
Please bring a nature-based object which resonates with you creatively (e.g. a shell, pebble, branch etc...) to be incorporated into the large flexible map, which will be joined with others to make a giant quilt of wellbeing. We will incorporate text, textile skills including embroidery and other objects, and will engage in a discussion of the meaning of these, their connection to wellbeing, and how making and being in nature affect our outlook. Poems welcome!
Leading the sessions is socially engaged interdisciplinary artist, Carrie Fertig, who works in performance, video, sound, installation, spoken word, and virtual reality. Fertig is also a maker in flameworked glass, used for its sonic properties including music and its ability to hold ideas. The foundation of her practice is engagement with collaborators or participants, and much of it is interactive to address emotional, spiritual, and physical states and thresholds.
