It’s #NationalPoetryDay and I’m on the way to work with tons of work/life thoughts swirling. This poem by Bernadette Mayer seems appropriate poetryfoundation.org/poems/49736/fa…

had a great day walking terrain of #leebank #birmingham yesterday - capturing with residents layers, changes, placings and remnants w/ Claire Hickey @JRPeevers for Re:connections part TWO

captured from today’s walk and talk in #leebank #birmingham // thinking around edges, entry, barriers, and boundaries // Re:connections part two adding layers to the sensory map w/ Claire Hickey and @JRPeevers

rise before sunrise, walk at dawn, following cornflakes and toast // what connections sustain relationships / flexibility and slack // recording decades of change in #leebank #birmingham w/ Claire Hickey for Re:connections part 2 //

concluded our walk and talk programme with public Artful-activity // following flows of life and needs for city livng // exploring #leebank for Re:connections part 2 with Claire Hickey & @JRPeevers

Reflecting on Walk and Talks for Re:connections with Emily Warner (they/them) @JRPeevers Noticing the sensory / overlooked / edges / ties / changes & flows in #LeeBank and now wherever I go

Looking back: 2018 saw the publication of a rich vein of books about motherhood and women’s work frieze.com/article/lookin…

some super images from Claire Hickey workshop last week // clay and conversation at coffee morning / part of Re:connections dialogues with @JRPeevers // building layers upon layers of #leebank #birmingham

3-months stagnating // collections of #leebank detritus growing new life in the Studio // Re:connections dialogues left to evolve // research by @JRPeevers place as assemblage

This looks like a wonderful opportunity and resonates so deeply. Wishing it much success!

sky grabs -- editing imagery for fabrics to be installed within the Re:connections structure at the end of this month // images from artist-led walking workshops by Claire Hickey / @JRPeevers and myself // exploring #leebank #birmingham assembling place

Assembling Dialogues / for Re:connections // sensory structures emerging from #leebank #Birmingham // w/ @JRPeevers Claire Hickey Kaye Winwood and Jieling Xiao

Work takes me to some fabulous places. Today the community of Lee Bank brought Eritrean and Arabic coffee, Chinese ginger tea, Indian chai and delicious cakes to share. #reconnections #birmingham #leebank #neighbours @JRPeevers Emily Warner (they/them) Claire Hickey #multicultural

Excellent 2nd day of Assembling Dialogues for Re:connections Wonderful hospitality from community members alongside clay as food and other Kaye Winwood and Jieling Xiao delights. A real taste of #LeeBank

Fab final day of Presenting Dialogues for Re:connections STEAMhouse with in depth conversations about place making, community and embedded artistic practice/s with artists, planners, developers and researchers. Lovely to see this project develop through past 2 years.
