Rural Facets and PAC Artists

PAC (Practicing Artists Commoning) was set up by Artist Laura Eldret as part of the New Forest based contemporary arts programme More Than Ponies with the support of A Space Arts, Southampton.

PaC is a peer group for artists. Together we carry out creative investigations into the New Forest area and create a forum of support, sharing, caring and exchange to strengthen one another’s practice. We meet IRL to walk, sit, talk and often eat together

For information on the other artists involved, see the PAC page on the More Than Ponies website.

Together we will be hosting Rural Facets, a series of gatherings for artists in Hampshire and Dorset during Summer 2024, devised by Laura for Visual Arts South West. See more on Rural Facets here.

Neuroqueer Ecologies is a new strand of research that I am developing, which evolved out of Queer River. Neuroqueer Ecologies focuses on Neurodivergent experiences of and perspectives on place, and what these can teach wider society in a time of ecological crisis.

Please visit the Neuroqueer Ecologies page on the Queer River website for more information, or get in touch here.

The Ripple Effect project linked with the Salisbury River Park project, to enable local people to use art and archaeology to learn about the past and future of the River Avon.

Begun in Summer 2022, this two year project was developed by Leigh Chalmers of Wessex Archaeology and myself, through discussion with The Environment Agency.

You can watch a film all about The Ripple Effect here on the Wessex Archaeology Yutube page.

Please see this piece that I wrote for the Wessex Archaeology website for more information on the project.
