A visit to Lydia Halcrow’s PhD with Practice Exhibition: Matter Maps (study area: the Taw Estuary, Devon, UK). Bath Spa University; 19 10 2021.

Lydia’s art practice for her PhD was an in-depth engagement with a tidal landscape known to her as a child, adult and parent: the Taw Estuary, Devon, UK. The art works explore various aspects of time, materiality, family, memory, climate crisis, and the agencies of collected material and weathering and tidal processes. Lydia’s uses of range of body and material/process practices to create these lovely, often fragile, works. Artist website here.
