Consenting Objects.
Consenting Objects
Day 1. So the adventure begins. In my suitcase I’m carrying the stash of objects that have consented to travel with me from Chelva in Spain to Trélex in Switzerland.
Objects came from my garden or house in Chelva
The question I asked was “... do you consent to travel to Geneva?”. If my divining rods crossed over them, I interpreted that as a “yes”.
Eco-prints of vine and olive leaves
A series of eco-prints on paper and fabric made with plant material harvested locally, together with arbitrary fragments and objects found in my garden; tiny oranges, pomegranates, bones, ceramics and washed-hemp ropes used in a installation.

The long journey north starts from Valencia on the early high-speed AVE train from Joaquim Sorolla station up to Barcelona up the east coast of Spain; past coastal pines, beaches, villas, resorts and the port of Tarragona. Then the plane to Geneva and finally two suburban trains to the village of Trélex.

The Trélex Residency is run by Nina Rodin a friend from Camberwell College days.
