Shifting Waterscapes: Ellen Wiles and Arun Sood

to

Sound, Image, Ecology

Exhibition exploring the sensory experience of different bodies of water in fast-changing ecologies through sound, story, moving image, collage, performance, and mixed visual media. 

Created by multidisciplinary artists Ellen Wiles and Arun Sood, the works explore various watery landscapes in the UK, from rivers and lakes in South West England to tidal islands in the Outer Hebrides, exploring themes of movement and memory, degradation and restoration, and human / more-than-human relationships.  

Each work has been created in response to a specific place characterised by shifting bodies of water: the Otterhead Lakes (Blackdown Hills); Porlock Vale (Exmoor); Countess Wear (Exeter); and the tidal island of Vallay (The Outer Hebrides), and all provoke questions around the entanglements between these waterscapes and their inhabitants, histories, and future ecologies.
