The Blue Vein

  • Workshop

This project will be facilitated by visual artist, Emma Barone who will engage participants of Avista Support Services, Ashbrook and Riverview, Birr in a twelve week project empowering them to fully participate in their communities, in a multi-sensory exploration of the Camcor River’s heritage. Using the 19th-century photographic process of Cyanotype, participants will capture the “shadows” of the river’s flora and geological artifacts. The project bridges the gap between Birr’s scientific heritage (photography and botany) and its natural landscape, culminating in a large scale indoor paper collage / installation where we can look at the Camcor River through a lens of creativity, conservation and history.
Public Exhibit: The final piece will be exhibited (potentially at Birr Library, the Courtyard Gallery,
Birr Theatre, Birr Vintage Week & Heritage Week (TBC)
