A Meadow Full of Music (2021)


performance, book


A Meadow Full of Music was realised as part of the Road Books residency programme, and was funded by the Visual Arts Bursary from the Irish Arts Council .
 

A Meadow Full of Music attempte to occupy the centre of a rewilded meadow at Road Books, Inniscarra, Cork. String instruments were placed around the meadow’s edge, calling to one another. The audience wandered the meadow’s path, encountering the music as one might a butterfly or bird. 

A Meadow Full of Music was born of a time spent listening to the meadow. The performance has been translated into a book, so that it can be repeated in meadows around the world, or in the meadow of your imagination. It is available to buy from Goodpress or directly from me via email.
