Finding Common Ground - Journeys with a Coracle - Alison Neighbour
A coracle made as a nest to hold a tiny human within the vast and fragile natural world we are part of.
Date: Thursday 14 - Sunday 17 August
Opening Times: 11:00 - 17:00
Location: The Stables Gallery, Tontine Street, CT20 1JT
Encounter a coracle made entirely of material from the land, a nest in which to be held and to journey in search of a deeper relationship with the natural world. The coracle offers a place to find perspective, to be humble, and to be re-enchanted by all that is bigger than us.
Discover a series of journeys made with the coracle in Eryri (Snowdonia) over 2024-2025; learn about the materials and culture of this little boat; and question your own relationship to the world that holds us.
Work hosted alongside Robyn Neild & Jackie Brown at Stables Gallery
Alison is a Welsh visual artist working across scenography, performance, illustration, walking, and public art. Her work is influenced by our relationship to the natural world and stories of material, place, and time.
Her practice is deeply collaborative, with participation and the embodied relationship of the audience/viewer at the heart of her work. She regularly works with scientists and land managers as well as other artists, and has created recent large-scale participatory outdoor works with Creative Folkestone, Natural Resources Wales, and the National Trust.
