Celia Johnson


 Using walking and drawing as research methodology and performance/live art, to explore and respond to a particular, often familiar, environment, and as a base for both collaborative and individual work.

Drawings and found objects, collected stories/histories and photographs develop into paintings, installations, interventions, and sometimes events that investigate place, memory and space.

Working across/beween materials and media to create new encounters with place and its connection with personal and community experience. 


CASHMORE & JOHNSON and OVER HERE:

Cashmore & Johnson - established as a project lead, collaborative practice exploring a shared interest in psychogeography, relational aesthetics and site specific inquiry; identifying sites of sociopolitical interest to create interventions and events informed by ideas of hospitality and home. 
Cashmore & Johnson is also a part of ‘Over Here’  - a newly established community based art collective that creates live events fostering diverse and participatory dialogues in communal spaces.


TEACHING:

Part time BA Fine Art lecturer at Hereford College of Arts.

Sometime facilitator of walks and walk based workshops/events exploring the experience of place.


CURRENT PROJECTS

PAINTING:  Ongoing exploration of memory and place in relation to the materiality and illusory qualities of paint.

NIGHT WALKS: ongoing – a series of digitally documented (filmed) solitary walks at night to explore the gendered art practice of walking as “laying claim to space without having it” (Lajer-Burcharth, E, “Duchess of Nothing: Video Space and the Woman Artist” in Armstrong C and de Zegher C, ed., Women Artists in the Millenium, (MIT 2006).).  

RESEARCH:

Full Moon Walks.  Ongoing collaboration with Natalie Ramus to create a series of 9 Full Moon Walks (some of which will be participatory) at The Sidney Nolan Trust
