Towards the end of last summer I recorded my windharp at sunset at Scorhill stone circle on Dartmoor. A local artist, Eleanor Tallowin was also visiting the stones with her partner and young daughter. We got talking about the wonderful quality of the light, and their youngster had a go on the harp.
Eleanor has since created a dramatic and atmospheric artwork inspired by our encounter called “Capturing the wind at Scorhill”.
She uses molten wax infused with pigmented colour – “I love working with the molten wax as every piece I create is spontaneous and unique, I can never replicate any painting as I am working with a liquid medium.”
The windharp recordings are equally spontaneous and unique, and with her permission I’ve used her painting as the image for a video and added the sounds that I captured during that same evening.
