Great Places - A Documentary
In the summer of 2018 I was very busy working as an Artist in Residence under the Great Places Scheme, which focussed on an exploration of the history within a local area known as Milton, nestled between Barnsley and the Elsecar Heritage Centre.
As well as myself, a poet, a visual artist and a documentary film maker were also part of the creative team. The video above is the documentary which captured the excavation and includes several interviews with some of the professional archaeologists and team leaders involved in themassive project...as well as an impromptu interview with me on-site!
You can read more about the excavation itself and my approach to the compositions in this blog post.
