Backs to the Ground - summer 2026

Backs to the Ground was an invitation to residents of Brecon to lie down on the earth alongside me, in open spaces near where we live. They chose the space, I led a short guided visualisation and relaxation into the ground. We lay alongside one another for 20 minutes in silence, followed by a conversation while still lying down. These exchanges were vivid and sometimes very moving as people shared their thoughts and perceptions whilst lying down. Distant memories surfaced, bodily sensations shifted and the sights and sounds created new associations. I made notes and drawings afterwards. 24 people participated and each person received a folded artwork commemorating the project.
