Abstract
A response by Maria Sledmere to the work of Jonathan Baxter, Tonya McMullan and Claudia Zeiske, all participants of the 2023 Art Walk Projects programme Vessel.
VESSEL connects Portobello’s coastal ecologies with global questions relating to water, fracture and care in response to the climate crisis. Embracing a wide range of subjects, including collective consumption, climate-induced migration, aridity and drought, tourism, waste processing and more, the nine artists and contributors, working across a range of geographies (including one international digital residency) develop a series of interweaving projects.
Artists: Henna Asikainen, Jonathan Baxter, Huniti Goldox, Tonya McMullan, Murray Morrant, Jenny Pope, Lucas Priest, Vira Putri, Claudia Zeiske.
Writers: Isabel Perez-Ramos, Alycia Pirmohamed, Maria Sledmere (commissioned in partnership with MAP Magazine).
With introductory essays from project curator, Rosy Naylor and editor, Tom Jeffreys.
