Elemental

Sheila’s latest project uses all of the research, knowledge and experience developed during Rambles With Nature to inform the making of a new quartet of works meditating on 'The Elements'. The four pieces explore:

Sulphur

Atmospheric Forces

Breath

Flow

Early research into this project was supported by a Wellcome Library Research Bursary (Jan - June 2016). 

Sulphur (a performance work) was made and performed in 2017. Read more about that project HERE.

On Sulphur (a research day / a public event / a re-working of the performance work) was then developed and shared in 2018. Read more about that day HERE.

An audio recording of an abridged version of Sulphur was made in 2020 - this is now also available to listen to on the On Sulphur web page.

Work on Atmospheric Forces began in 2020 in collaboration with artist Sue Palmer (their second piece together after Common Salt). Read more about the progress of that work HERE.

Research and Development into Breath and Flow will begin in 2026.
