Resources
The ‘Co-Natural Makers’ symposium manifested as a result of the research I have conducted as a part of my Masters in Drawing at Plymouth College of Art.
Over the last few years it has become clear to me that I needed to research the topics of embodied walking, tacit experience, observational drawing and artwork made in situ. I have also looked into naturalism and ecology, botany, environmentalism and practice-led research.
Below you will find a myriad of resources, videos, articles, PDFs and more that I have myself found useful and inspiring, and hopefully this will provide you with a context for what we will discuss on the day at Co-Natural Makers.
Enjoy!
