We are looking for walkers who would like to participate in The Walking Drawings Art Project on 16 September.
The location for this has now changed to Silecroft Beach, near Millom .
After consultation, we have been informed that we cannot do the walk on Morecambe Bay on 16 September as planned, due to severe weather conditions which could make it unsafe for walkers and unstable for the Platform that we use for filming.
Walking Drawings will now all take place on Silecroft Beach
On 15 September we will be doing a Walking Drawings at Silecroft Beach with Cumbrian Heavy Horses,
On 16 September we will be doing a Walking Drawing at Silecroft Beach with People.
Once you have registered, we will send you the directions of how to get there, a map, meeting point information and further information of how to take part on the day.
What is a Walking Drawing?
A Walking Drawing is a large-scale drawing undertaken with a combination of freehand and mechanical tools on a vast landscape
(canvas) of at least a quarter of a mile in the early hours of the morning. People of different ages, genders and cultures all dressed
in black are then led onto the drawing and invited to walk its lines in various formats and patterns. The entire process will be filmed
and photographed for a new art film installation. The soundtrack will be produced by a local music organisation and The Queens Guide to the
Sands, Mr Cedric Robinson is working with us on this project.
Walking Drawings like to create stunning and significant visual art that local communities can be involved in, which at the same time
subtlely raises awareness around pertinent issues in our society, from climate change to human rights. The entire process (creating the
drawing, the various walks on the drawing through the day) is filmed, photographed and then shown in venues and art festivals as an art film
installation.
Why are we producing Walking Drawings at Morecambe Bay?
Quite simply because it is an area of outstanding natural beauty, not often recognised as such. It is also one of the few places in the country that has such a large expanse of sand, vast enough to produce a Walking Drawing.
At Silecroft Beach, Evewright will be creating a Walking Drawing of a different dimension with 22 horses and their riders. www.cumbrianheavyhorses.com
Please complete the registration form on the right if you would like to participate in our Walking Drawing on Morecambe Bay on 16 September 2010.
Please be aware that at this time of the year, the weather at Morecambe Bay can be unpredictable – wet or windy but the Walking Drawing will still take place! Thank you.
