Department of Social Sciences Deborah Pills BA Fine Art, Year 3 Kate Mohony Associate Lecturer Fine Art Information Sitting on a train with my back to the direction of travel i am swaying, my body responds to the motion of the coach as it consumes the tracks. I am lulled ← I am jolted ← I am cradled ← I am lurching → I am assimilating → processing → repositioning → – transitioning into my own interconnected body-vehicle beat. The window view ceases to be a representation of green fields, tall trees and electricity pylons. The landscape enters my eyes as texture and rhythm, flashes of green, dashes of brown, fleeting reflective surfaces. Facing the past as i move forwards, I long for the yet unknown and unforeseen. The Seers-in-Residence research journey is similarly in transit and wilfully unencumbered by destination. Each of the researchers, Janice Howard, Helen Walkington, Deborah Pills and Kate Mohony undertook a 3 hour micro-residency with the Kelly + Jones exhibition CaCO3, exploring a decentralised and phenomenological methodology for approaching shared research dynamics. The residency project approaches investigation as a non-hierarchical, non-linear series of happenings that privilege knowledge as a mingling and arrangement of rhythms and textures in anticipation of the appearing of the not-yet-seen.

UNION explores ideas of physical and emotional labour, collaboration, and value. The project consists of five parts – encompassing print, live performance, and online media. Information The central materials of the work are the bodies of the artists, and coal. As a material, coal has been used – literally and figuratively – to both build and destroy systems of power and wealth, communities and bodies. Coal is bound with contradictions. As a carbon entity, it can be ignited to generate heat and electrical power – sustaining and enriching life – while simultaneously contributing to the irrevocable chaos of climate change. It is alchemical – transforming through heat into gold – it has been mined and used to line the pockets of industrialists and governments, while becoming an emblem of working class failure. Thriving towns and physical communities have been constructed around the industries which mined and processed coal, only to be left decimated by their collapse. Bodies, built and fed on mining, slowly asphyxiate on its wages of dust. Drawing on these ideas and concerns, and their own family histories as coal miners and industrial workers, Richard Hancock and Traci Kelly undertake a labour of images – a series of physical and emotional tasks mined from a poetic exploration of the body and a cellular reaction to all that burns. Part I: The Most Sensitive of Species is an unlimited edition litho-print on paper. The print image draws on the historical practice of caged canaries used in mines to detect the presence of fatal levels of methane and carbon monoxide gases.

Lightning survivors sometimes bear temporary marks of the Figures on their skin that gradually fade over 24 hours. A different marker of a day. Force Nature is a bloodlining tattoo of Lichtenberg Figures that will also gradually fade. Etched into skin and swabbed onto muslin cloths, the performance was part of Trykk-i-san tid (real time printing) at Kunstvarteret, Lofoten, Norway. Beginning at 16:57 on summer solstice, it also was a marker of a particular day during the period of Lofoten’s midnight sun.

Pink Horizon interweaves ideas of corporeal and geographical topographies to create a gap of possibility. Lacking a specific wave on the electromagnetic spectrum there is no visible light that looks pink. An invention of vision, pink light falls into the gap between red and purple. This gap contains all things in the universe invisible, including radio waves, microwaves, infrared gamma rays and X-rays. The presented works range across various levels of visibility, where some are visually abundant others need to be scrutinised to become present. Some works ‘scratch’ the eye, demanding the viewer to be attentive. Others ‘stroke’ – resting on vision and bodies as they pass - revealing the fleshiness of seeing as an interactive meeting place within a nomadic terrain. Alongside philosophical poetics of the un/seen there is a formal investigation at play – What is the skin of sculpture, and how can sculpture disrupt its own form?

The contamination caused an ocular leprosy node to develop. With respect and sorrow, on the same site of Bergen's Lepramuseet, the artist introduces a foreign body into her eyes - artificial tears. The intrusion bites the membranes and stirs authentic drops, the hand reaches out… Xenograftie (artificial sorrow) investigates the animot - Derrida’s cultural alignment between the animal and the female. The audience witness an act of memorialisation: the fur of a slaughtered rabbit and the hair from the artist gradually cling to the body of the other, translating the languages into which they are written. This performance forms the core of the paper "To Provoke Tears: performing histories of induced weeping" presented at Tears in Performance conference at the Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art for Université Paris-Sorbonne, march 2014 and TaPRA annual conference, Royal Holloway University, London, September 2014. It also has a dedicated chapter in The Routledge Companion to Performance and Medicine, Taylor and Francis 2024. * "A serious sentence passed against the discoverer of the leprosy bacillus (Gerhard Armauer Hansen), in 1880" by T.M.

Information. The staff canteen at Spode in Stoke-on-Trent was the site for union meetings, political resistance, camaraderie and communal meals, whilst the methodist chapels of Waddington and Wellingore in LIncolnshire provided a different context for breaking bread and sharing lives. This supper of local speciality foods celebrates values of 'mucking-in' and 'lending a hand' that linger in village communities and rediscovers a forgotten local tradition - the stuffed chine supper. Wellingore WI: Heritage table and cakes Waddington History Group: Heritage table, harvest folk songs and memory sharing led by Maureen Sutton. 100 limited edition bone china commemorative tankards Made in Stoke-on-Trent to celebrate rural Lincolnshire. Influenced by the colour blue of the surviving pieces of Waddington Chapel earthenware and the bird of pray hovering over the village on the artist’s site visit. The bird is a poor quality digital rendition chosen to contrast the fineness of bone china. The bone china speaks back to the rural context through the inclusion of ground bovine bones.

These are knowing birds, built-in flight-paths designed By Traci Kelly. Warm winds ruffle oil-free feathers, The birds rotate, supple as wax. Hollow bones light as a child’s balloon are ready for take off. Eyes are as blue as clay, feathers grey as stone, soft as Bone-ash.

Material Sculpture, photography, textiles, video Information The slit I and the hole O Room 10 is a site responsive installation with component works centralising around the theme of slits and holes. Ruptures to create portals and edges are made through processes that rely on piercing and penetration. Tactile materials such as silicone and honey hold skin-like qualities, that are both comforting and transgressive. Honey is made in the throat of bees as nectar is passed back and forth between the mouths of workers, until its consistency changes and something transformative occurs. The installation is to be enjoyed as a process of discovery, peering into cracked drawers and darkened corners where glossy, tacky, unstable surfaces meet the senses.

Material Coral, wood worm, scientific prism distortion Information “SEUFZER” at St Jost’s Lepra-Kapelle, Trier-Biewer is a site-specific project. Works resonate with aspects of the historical site from the 12th Century and the current church built from alms collected by two young leper girls in the 19th Century. The bell carries the date 1865. The site includes a now closed church preserved as a monument, several cottages that once formed the hospital facilities and a modest ground. There is a small cemetery over the road, hidden and only discernible when the local council trims back trees twice a year. The Lepra-Kapelle lies nestled at the bottom of a slope, in a well between the road and the railway at the beginning of Biewer village. It has a main door which was used by for the general congregation and a separate leper’s entrance at the back. Once inside, a now absent decorative grill separated the two parties. At a time prior to the medical understanding of the cause and spread of leprosy there would be no exclusion to the spiritual life, but also no earthly mingling. The ground outside is where the lepers once lived in simple wooden huts. At the top of the slope and across the road is a stone cross marking the site where food donations were placed to support the colony’s physical needs. The small graveyard ‘Kleines Paradies’ tucked into the forest edge is where their bodies were transported upon death. Their arrival at St. Jost’s was already considered a civil death and mourned as a living funeral. Upon actual death they were placed without ceremony under a scattering of earth. “Heaven on Earth” stands directly outside of the leper’s entrance and uses a large lens to create an inverted view of the grounds, bringing the skies down to rest and suspending the earth above. “Falling Holding” is a video projection that passes over the reliquary cabinet. It places the micro-world of the body through medical scans alongside a sense of universal vastness. Short-lived matches form isolated communities and offer a contemporary memento mori to reflect upon the brevity of life. They are contained by bones, resonating with blessed relics in carved jars and altar cabinets. The use of sheep, pig and bovine bones (the animals that surround the figure of St. Francis) questions how we attribute value systems to bodies, and whether common social hierarchies can be deemed ‘just’. They offer a moment of recalibration to shift our thinking. The neon text “Ghosts Dance” injects the possibility of closeness between those that have already passed and those still here. Dancing raises the spectre of joy across the life and death divide. It continues the artist’s interest in pink light as a physical impossibility of vision. Lacking a specific wave on the electromagnetic spectrum there is no visible light that is pink, yet it exists.

The work is a stage of an investigation into the landscape and printmaking. The experimental physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799) studied the branching discharge patterns on dielectrics, now named Lichtenberg Figures. Lightning, that surges the skies and strikes the landscape occasionally leaving temporary traces on the skin of those surviving a lightning event, is a 3D Lichtenberg Figure. Through his dielectrical experiments Lichtenberg also discovered the basic principle of modern xerography used in copy machine technology. He also proposed the standardisation of paper sizes which are now used almost globally and of which A4 is the most commonly used, and forms the dimensions of the prints. The Dissipation Series is offered as an NFT on the OpenSea platform as part of the energy circuit embedded in the artwork. The carbon in the original tool and its fractal burning transitions and multiplies in the energy required to position its digital minting on a blockchain. https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/92128033366494196588104507895948579086826557244914693142136042689008997761025/ The physical prints will be exhibited until the point they are purchased as NFT’s, after which they will be destroyed by fire and exist only as documentation and NFT. Currently one has been destroyed after being exchanged for an NFT by Josh von Staudach from his No Voltage Pylon series. In this series high voltage transmission towers are mangled in a process of aerial photography, AI photogrammetry and transferal to polygonal clusters. The one selected #11 No Voltage Pylon is from Bottrop, Germany, which used to be a heavy coal mining area with many factories to produce coal-tar derivatives.

There has been a chapel on site since the 13th Century but the current one has stood since 1695. The money for the chapel was raised by two virgin maidens who have memorial slabs in front of the altar. There are paintings, statues, objects and stained glass, but the most precious items are bone relics. They are stored in wooden jars with windows of speculation, shaped in the gesture of Latin benediction. This work is influenced by stained glass, troubled bones, contamination and female labour reminiscent of bees.

Hundreds of knotted threads gather and form an anatomical overtone, a dead worker bee that has exhausted its life in the production of honey hovers again, as the viewer finds perspective. Found European textiles display carefully stitched and crafted geometric borders. Bodies of clay and corporeality. The interest in geometric borders and tiles began with a virtual Vayu Residency in Kashan (2022). Famed for its medieval tiles, I responded to the early ceramic technology’s not-yet-perfected aspect, where bleeding and smudging across shaped or drawn boundaries sometimes occurred. The work has also developed from spending studio time in in a disused brothel in Stuttgart’s redlight district, where age-old forms of female labour permeate the space and also suggested fluidity and smudging across corporeal boundaries. Shifting perspectives Objects that are manufactured to be functional with piercings are stitched in imperfect geometric patterns with transgressed boundaries of trailing threads. Glass objects distort perspective, relocating geometric borders or stirring a dead bee to life and incorporating the viewer into the reflective scene.

Information Performance for camera with a 19th century red flannel cholera bandage. Red Behind My Eyes recollects my earliest memories of hospitalisation at the age of two. They centre around the unfathomable procedures and instruments that accompany medical intervention. The memories are vivid, yet unreliable and frayed around the edges. The performance gestures place my own sense-making as a child onto the adult body. The camera is both a witness and an active participant. The gestures trace time across the elastic polarities of a lived life, across an artistic practice that returns time and time again to gesture for camera, across a 19th century remnant and across the 20 seconds exposure time that allows for the tracking of a body in space and for me to simultaneously be both sides of the lens. The bandage was known as the 'cholera' bandage. Even when it was known that cholera was airborne and no longer attributed to the cold, it still formed part of a soldier's WWI standard kit. It should be wrapped around the chest to keep warm, warding off the illness. Dimensions Variable Exhibited Blickfeld 2025 “Spuren” at Tübingen, Germany 2025.
