Sheila is pleased to be sharing On Reflection - a wander with a black mirror at Timber Festival this weekend, at 11am on both Saturday & Sunday:
Hold a black mirror carefully in the palm of your hand and look, listen and think about who you are in relation to the natural world around you on this participatory wander led by artist Sheila Ghelani.
What do you see and what remains just off to the side – hidden, overlooked, forgotten, unnoticed?
Popular in the 1800s with landscape painters and tourists, black mirrors were used to ‘tint’ views - a bit like the instagram filters we use today.
During this activity you'll learn more about black mirrors and their use through time and will be given the chance to sketch like a landscape painter, write like a poet and look like a tourist - amongst other things.
Suitable for adults.
If you’re interested in taking part you will find her at the Shivelight meeting point (spaces available for up to x15 people).
Sheila is sharing the wander as part of her research towards On Rock & Air supported by a National Forest Arts Grant.
