Artist Eve Mosher has worked with communities on the water’s edge for over 15 years, utilising creativity to inspire and uncover our connections to waterways and their ecosystems. Building on this and her research undertaken as part of her River Animateur residency with the Findhorn Watershed Initiative, she further explored our connections to the watershed and invited others into a process of ‘making’ about celebrating nature and the natural world, local waterways, the watersheds ecosystem and its inhabitants.
During the Findhorn Bay Festival, Eve spent three months re-visiting the landscape of the area as well as working with local elders of Findhorn Village in creative explorations to prompt conversations of the environment in which they live. She also took creative work out to public events.
Her residency concluded with a final sharing of work created and co-created with members of the local community. We had a screening of a new two-channel video piece, Water, Wind, and Light, at the James Milne Institute in Findhorn and the event also featured the final creative-making workshop of her Findhorn Bay Arts residency.
Numbers included:
- 50+ attended the exhibition on the final day of the Findhorn Bay Festival
- 18 attended the guided walk
- 6 workshops were delivered at Findhorn Village Centre to a core group of three elders and occasional drop-ins
- 3 public workshops were delivered, attended by over 60 people where 40 flags were made
- three poets from ForWORDS were featured.
