Gen Doy New Collaborations Bursary 2014

I had a good meeting with Lynn the other day and we discussed the visits we made to Greenham Common and the sound edit I had forwarded recently to Lynn. we talked about how the images (or darkness on the screen) might relate to the sounds in the longer edit (it’s on soundcloud, see the link eventually loaded into the previous blog). Sometimes the sounds will be in a fairly obvious relationship to the images, sometimes less obvious, and sometimes there will apparently be no relation at all apart from in the mind and sense of the viewer and listener. Things are moving on and I feel, towards the end of the project, that we really have taken a big step forward, not least because Lynn has agreed to have a meeting with Lucy, even though she was so reluctant to show any of her footage to Lucy before she was totally happy with it. So this is great.
I’m going to think carefully about what is the best way we can all get something out of the meeting and draw up a little agenda, without making things too formal. ….and also a list of problems and issues that have come up over the period of months we have been involved in the project. It has certainly been a collaboration, though as I am at the centre of it, I got the most out of things. I want to make sure the other two people get something out of it for their own practice as well, which they can take away from this project and hopefully apply to their own individual practices.
