Artist Abigail Reynolds will be screening her new film The Mother’s Bones.
About
Filmed in Dean Quarry on the tip of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall with St Keverne brass band. Drawing inspiration from the Greek myth of Deucalion and Phyrra and Russell Hoban’s novel Riddley Walker, Reynolds represents the quarry through a mythic lens.
The screening and discussion with students on the Critical Writing in Art & Design MA course, will also include the 1935 film Coal Face by the GPO Film Unit (with verse by W H Auden and music by Benjamin Britten).
Abigail Reynolds lives in St Just, Cornwall, and has a studio at Porthmeor in St Ives. She studied English Literature at Oxford University before pursuing Fine Art. Her interest in books & libraries prompts her collages and sculpture which are often composed of found photographs spliced to create fresh narratives.
Recently she was awarded the BMW Art Journey prize at Art Basel. She will be visiting lost libraries along the Silk Road through 2016 and 2017.
She has work in the Government Art Collection, Yale University Art Gallery, New York Public Library and many private collections.
