苏格兰航海探险之旅
Anne Lydiat
For the past eleven years Anne has been living and working as an artist onboard a ship. Her vessel is now moored on the River Thames at Hermitage Moorings downstream from Tower Bridge, London, 51.5056° N, 0.0756° W.
In September 2012 she began a practice led PhD at the University of the Arts London, based at Chelsea. Her research interests are in gendered narratives, personal, political and historical implicit in living and working as an artist on board a ship.
Lydiat’s ink drawings on watercolour paper are made on board the ship by suspending a pen from the roof of the hold, thus locating her and her art practice in time and place. The drawings signify moments of presence now lost, ie the fleeting, transient rolling of the ship in relation to the wind and the rise and fall of the tides.
Whilst aboard The Lady Avenel, Lydiat will make a set of similar ink drawings, sound recordings, and using a ‘sounding’ line, will record the various depths and chart the locations of the ship throughout the voyage. She is particularly interested in ‘the offing’ (the space between the shore and the horizon). This links her research to the voyage of The Marques led by Richard de Marco and the favourite saying of the artist Joseph Beuys: ‘New beginnings are in the offing’ (1981).
