Opportunity to hear more about peatland landscapes in the North Pennines and the collaboration between Laura Harrington and Jeff Warburton that led to the exhibition The Liveliest of Elements, an Ordinary Extraordinary Material. Their collaboration was initiated through a Leverhulme Trust Artist Residency.
The Liveliest of Elements, an Ordinary Extraordinary Material is a new body of work by Laura Harrington and was formed from an elongated period of research into upland peat landscapes. Specifically Moss Flats, a bare peat flatland, approximately 50 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne in the North Pennines, a landscape that has given Harrington an insight into the substance of peat as a dynamic and changeable material. Working with specialists from both artistic and scientific fields she has mapped this environment through works both portrait and facet, expansive and intimate, cultural and clinical.
