The heart piece in the river Inagh in Ennistymon resonates with us locally. We are interested in it as a site of contention and wanted to respond to this site though a participatory artwork. We took this opportunity to acknowledge friendship as a sustainable model of our interactive process, as an integral part of the making of our work. The development of our art process practice has been constructed through friendship and we couldnt create without our friends involvement on many levels. So we invited 12 artist friends to partake in meditation led movement manifesting into performance with mobile phones, taking stills of the site and the movement generated over 3 days exploration.
Out of this process we gathered all the images that were taken in this unusual process- using the mobile phone as an embodied extension of the hand rather than the eye. Maeve and I created a work of photomontage for the Clare People, entitled political HEARTworks. A 2 page spread was printed on the 24th August 2010.
