The Jerwood Encounters Terra exhibition is currently on tour at Grizedale Forest, following its showing at JVA at Jerwood Space in November 2011. Terra is curated by Hayley Skipper and Anthony Mottershead of the Forestry Commission England and brings together five artists who are considering the relationship between their practice and the environment outside of the white–walled gallery space. These artists include: Jonathan Anderson, Edwina FitzPatrick, Luke Jerram, Anne-Mie Melis and Owl Project. In its new home at Grizedale Forest artist Melissa Hinkin has been exploring and responding to each of the exhibits through sculptural text works which will be uploaded to the Grizedale Forest Sculpture website each week, including her first piece on the Owl Project; Sound Lathe & 9v Sound System.
Check back each week to discover Hinkin’s further texts.
Melissa Hinkin graduated in Sculpture at Wimbledon College of Art in 2008. She currently works as an artist, writer and curator in Mid Wales and has recently been awarded a Go Wales traineeship as Exhibitions and Education Assistant at Oriel Davies Gallery, Newtown.
